Let's take a look at real-life scenarios of how you might benefit if you went solar!
Quick tip before we start...
Pay Close Attention ๐
Read slowly, give heed to every word, and carefully observe the images to get the most out of this! Enjoy!
Step #1: Let's meet Tony
More about Tony:
๐ฒ He was paying $132 on average.
๐ 670 kWh average monthly consumption.
๐ฎ In love with tacos.
Step #2: What could've been of Tony... ๐ฑ
This is what his project would have been like:
โ 13 panels (4.22 kW system size)
โ Offset at 100% (Means it can produce 100% of the energy you'd use in a year)
โ Fixed Monthly Payment of $132 with APR of 2.99%
But hey, he also likes crypto and was planning to mine it in the future.
Is that not something that will increase by A LOT his electric usage? ๐คจ
Step #3: Future Tony is ready to get crypto-rich โ
This is him today:
๐ก System size is more than double now: 28 panels (10.36 kW)
๐ฐ Fixed Monthly Payment of $229 with a APR of 0.49%
๐ Payment includes high-end battery
โ๏ธ Offset of 245% → If we hadn't 2x it, he would have been producing less than 50% of the energy he'd need due to the high-usage crypto appliances!
โ
Before:
$289 with no solar. After: $229 with solar and a battery.
Step #1: Let's meet Janice
More about Janice...
๐ฒ She was paying $197 on average.
๐ 716 kWh average monthly consumption.
๐ Smartest pharmacist in the world.
Step #2: What could've been of Janice... ๐ฑ
This is what no SOLARI looks like:
โ 20 panels (6.5 kW system size)
โ Offset at 100%
โ Fixed Monthly Payment of $126 with APR of 2.99%.
She wanted to start using her pool but was new to her home & didn't know how much that'd use.
And what about panel degradation? That has NOT been accounted for yet as well... ๐
Step #3: Let's get you something better Janice โ
This is her nowadays:
๐ก 28 panels (10.36 Kw system size)
๐ฐ Fixed Monthly Payment of $243 with a APR of 0.49%
โ๏ธ Offset at 180% → 8% more to account for max panel degradation, 9% to account for Californian solar policies.
๐ And the extra 63% so she can use her pool as much as she wants!
๐ฅณ Happy Janice!
What "Californian solar policies" ?
Let's talk about that in the following case study!
And by the way, the 2 previous ones were also designed to account for that...
Step #1: Last but not least, let's meet Jimmy
More about Jimmy:
๐ฒ He was paying $407 on average.
๐ 1650 kWh average monthly consumption.
๐ฅ Most down-to-earth entrepreneur.
โก Hates outages so he had a battery in mind.
Step #2: What could've been of Jimmy... ๐ฑ
This is what someone else recommended:
โ 34 panels (12.58 kW system size)
โ Offset at 100%
โ Fixed Monthly Payment of $274 with APR of 2.99%
But he was planning to get an electric car. From what I heard that increases your energy usage.
And also, what about
solar policies in CA like
TOU Rates? They have NOT been taken into consideration yet! ๐ค
Step #3: Don't worry Jimmy, I got you โ
This is Jimmy's new well-rounded system:
๐ก New system size: 46 panels (17.02 kW)
๐ฐ Fixed Monthly Payment of $353 with a APR of 0.49%
โ๏ธ Offset at 135% → 8% for degradation and 9% for solar policies.
๐๏ธ Will sleep like a baby knowing his solar will cover the usage of his EV in the future with the extra 18% offset left.
๐ He was not a good candidate for a battery even though he had been told otherwise.
๐ Happy Jimmy took his wife out to eat to celebrate (I kid you not).
