Save today for a greener tomorrow
Solar power is cheaper than the cost of utility power, so you start saving money as soon as your SunLogic system is installed. Even if your utility bill is only $85 per month, you can save money, earn an attractive return on your investment and add lasting value to your home when you switch to solar. And since solar power offsets utility power, your savings will double every 10 years if PG&E’s rates increase at their historic average of 6.7%.
Solar is a smart investment
The rate of return on our solar power systems are typically between 10-30%, making it a very smart investment. Though larger homes see greater savings because more high priced utility power is eliminated, solar power saves money for homes of all sizes.

Increase your home's value
Installing solar power adds lasting value to your home and is one of the best investments you can make. Why? It's because buyers are willing to pay more for homes with lower ownership costs. The National Appraisal Institute found that solar systems add $20,000 for every $1,000 in annual energy savings.1
