Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are solar systems affordable?

YES!!! Solar installations have now become affordable with financing option and Solar Leasing. A solar lease makes it possible to get solar with little or no upfront cost. Solar Electricity makes sense for homeowners and businesses. We suggest that you have analysis done on your specific situation.

2. Buy or Lease now or wait for new technology and lower costs in the future?

An Investment in Solar Electricity is Dependent on 5 Things

1. Cost of materials and Labor
2. Utility Incentives
3. Federal Incentives
4. State Incentives
5. The Price of Electricity

Cost of Materials and Labor

1. The 2009 Recession has caused over supply.
2. Over supply has caused prices to decrease 30% to 50% since last year for panels and inverters.
3. Equipment prices have begun to stabilize; and demand for solar has increased in 2010.

If the financial investment makes sense for your business, do not hesitate to purchase now. Incentives and tax credits will likely decrease faster than equipment and installation costs. New technology will take time to develop and ramp production to cross over the price per watt of solar PV technology. In addition solar PV technology is over 50 years old, and reliable with warranties of 25 years.

3. Will incentives go down over time?

Yes, states are unlikely to add incentives. California incentives are 50% lower than they were just three years ago. In Arizona, APS incentive is 30% lower than 6 months ago, SRP has a schedule for reduction each year.

Federal Incentives Will Go Down

1.  30% Federal Tax Credit Ends in 2010
2.  50% Bonus Depreciation ended at the end of 2009

State Incentives Will Go Down

1. Every solar state is having a budget crisis.
2.  Arizona has already limited their incentive.
3. The Price of Electricity will continue to go up.
