Power bill got you down?

With the winter months upon us and the utilities requesting yet another rate increase, power bill got you down?  I KNOW the high cost of electricity is on your mind.  Those price increases from power companies don’t ever seem to stop.  The cost of heating and lighting your home, especially during those long, dark winter evenings, and all of the twinkling Christmas lights, can really make your power bill skyrocket.  I know you are not looking forward to your January power bill!  Power bill got you down?  It may be time for you to consider solar energy for your home.

You don’t need to be confined to one side of the political aisle to know that installing a solar array can benefit you in many different ways.  In fact, the installation of solar panels can actually pay for itself, and in less time than you would imagine if it’s done correctly.  With power companies steadily raising rates, it’s certainly worth a look to see what the benefits of solar would be for you!

PJM Interconnection LLC is a regional transmission organization in the United States. It is part of the Eastern Interconnection grid operating an electric transmission system serving all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. PJM is the largest power grid operator in the United States, serving 65 million customers from Chicago to New Jersey.  Here’s a letter to PJM stakeholders about capacity.  Taking the anticipated 2025 load forecast into account, the PJM system could see a capacity shortage as soon as the 2026/27 Delivery Year.

It’s important to know that solar panels these days are so much more technologically advanced than they were years ago.  They are also the cheapest they have been in years!

Additionally, you’ll be able to see the savings on your power bill right away.  Although the amount saved on your bill can vary based on a bunch of factors (Roof pitch, size of your installation, building orientation, energy consumption, etc.), you can likely expect to see savings of 30-80% on the average.  Obviously, some months of the year will see more solar irradiance than others, but it is pretty awesome when a customer shows us their power bill for – $0.75.

Yes.  You read that right.  NEGATIVE 75 cents.

Finally, your solar installation would have a positive impact on the environment.  Your solar panels would be turning the sun’s rays into energy for consumption, reducing the need fossil fuels and also carbon emissions.
