SunSource Customer’s Electricity Bill after Installing Solar
To calculate an accurate savings forecast, the following factors must be accounted for :
- Amount of electricity used by the home.
- Available roof space, its pitch (the angle of the roof), and it’s position in relation to the sun.
(Hint: South-facing roofs are best for solar, but great systems can also be designed using east- and west-facing roof space, as well as ground mounts!) - Obstructions such as nearby trees, other buildings, street lamps, etc.
- Your local electric company’s rates.
- System and installation costs. With available financing, most households have no up-front costs, and can start saving immediately.
- Geographical and weather factors affecting sun exposure.
You can see that to calculate accurate numbers for you, we need to know where you are and how much energy you use. Once we have that information, we design a system for your home, calculate your costs and savings, and get that information back to you so you can start saving. The whole process is quick and easy!
