Homeowners need to know that Solar is Most Affordable Now

Solar energy has become one of the most affordable sources of power, and the cost of solar systems has gone down significantly. This trend is causing some homeowners to hold out on installations, thinking that they will save more if they wait a few years.

But this isn’t the case, and stalling can actually cost homeowners more. If you want to help your solar customers get the best deal, it’s important to explain to them why solar is at its most affordable now.

Solar Panels aren’t Getting Much Cheaper Four decades ago, the price of solar panels was one hundred times higher than it is today. The price has steeply dropped in the years after. Since 2010, it again decreased by a whopping 70%.

Given this steady downward momentum, many homeowners are expecting solar panels to continue getting cheaper.

However, data shows that solar prices are actually reaching a standstill. In fact, it’s expected that the increasing demand for solar energy will start driving prices up again, and soon.

The Largest Tax Credit is Expiring What little could be saved by small system price drops in the coming years will be offset by the expiration of one of the country’s biggest savings programs. The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) will be lowering the savings by the end of next year.

This makes 2019 the final year that homeowners can claim a generous credit for 30% of their solar system’s cost. After that, the percentage will drop every year until 2022, when it reaches only 10%.

If homeowners want to save nearly ⅓ of their solar installation’s price, they will need to get it done before 2019 comes to a close.

Every Day they wait is a Day of Needless Energy Spending Another offsetting factor is the energy bills that homeowners will continue to pay while they go without solar. The average American household spends over $1,200 per year on electricity.

In some states, that cost rises to over $1,700.

Even if the average price of solar systems were to drop by one or two thousand dollars in the next three years, homeowners would still be paying much more than that for electricity in the meantime. Based on the numbers above, they’d be looking at electricity expenses of $3,600-$5,100 total. And with electricity prices only getting higher, those bills could even rise.
