Congratulations on making the decision or thinking about a shift to solar energy. Like many other homeowners in Oro Valley, AZ. you are making a great decision. There are many benefits of shifting to solar and Pima Solar is the right solar company to guide you through the process.

More and more homeowners across America are realizing the need to shift to solar energy for their own benefit and for the benefit of the environment.

Is Solar Energy Right for You?

Before moving forward you might be thinking whether or not solar energy is something that will fulfill your energy needs. You might also have a bunch of other questions regarding solar energy for your home. We are here to help you answer as many of them as possible. There are a few things that you need to look into before deciding to go with a solar company in Oro Valley, AZ:

What is your monthly Electricity Bill?

You need to look into your monthly electricity bill and come up with an average monthly cost over the year. If your bill is around $300 in the summer and about $100 in the winter, it would be safe to assume your average monthly bill is around $200. If your monthly electric bill is higher than you would like, then shifting to residential solar can be the right decision for you. We usually like to see at least an $150 average monthly bill to be a good candidate.

How much will you save?

The amount you will save every month as a result of your decision to shift to solar depends on your energy usage.

The solar energy systems we recommend are set to offset your energy usage by over 100%. So we can typically set you up with a system that generates more than enough energy than you use.

There are added benefits to Southern Arizona residents who use Tucson Electric Power. TEP pays almost 3 times as much back for extra energy you send back into the grid then other electricity providers in Maricopa County.

We typically see the payment for customers who finance a system at about 40% less than their normal electric bill. Add that savings to the huge tax credits from the local and federal government and a cash rebate and the savings can be significant.

Rising Electricity Costs in Oro Valley, AZ

When you calculate your potential savings it’s important to keep in mind that electricity rates increase on average by around 4% every year. So every year, the amount of your potential savings also increases.

Other things we help you assess regarding solar energy

A residential solar system provides electricity to your house by harnessing energy from the direct sunlight. The direct sunlight exposure of your installed solar panels makes a difference in determining how much of your energy needs you will be able to fulfill. This in turn depends on a few more things:

Size of your roof

In most of the cases solar panels are installed on the roof. The area of your roof determines whether or not you will be able to harness enough energy to fulfill your household needs. In case your roof does not have enough area to install the number of solar panels required for your house then you might have to consider installing the solar panels somewhere else.

Angle of your roof

If you want to harness the maximum sunlight energy from your roof then the angle of your roof also matters. If it faces the sunlight directly then you will be able to produce more electricity from your installed solar panels.

In case the angle of your roof is at odds with the direction of the sunlight and it decreases the hours of the sunlight exposure then once again you might need to consider installing the solar panels somewhere else.

Installing Solar Panels on ground

If your roof is not an appropriate place to install the residential solar then we also have the expertise to install your solar system on the ground. For this our team of licensed surveyors will order the special equipment that is required to install the solar panels on ground. Our engineers and surveyors will prepare a plan to install the solar panel at the most appropriate place that allows you to harness maximum energy from direct sunlight exposure.

Residential solar installation during Construction

If you are building a new house then it is a great opportunity for you to consider the need of installing solar panels in future.

You can decrease the installation cost by going for residential solar during construction.

If you plan accordingly then you will be able to make sure that your roof is constructed and designed in a way that allows you to gain maximum benefit out of your residential solar in future.
