Switch To Solar Experience

One of our clients, Jackie Madrid switched to solar power earlier this year and has seen incredible savings on her power bill without having to spend any money to get solar panels installed on her roof. She did this by getting a Power Purchase Agreement that not only lowers your monthly power bill but also sets your monthly bill at a fixed rate so there are no surprises when you check your utility statement.  Jackie shares her experience during the process of getting solar installed, how much she is saving now, and has some great advice for anyone who is thinking about going solar.

When you install a solar battery as part of your home solar energy system, you can actually store the extra energy your solar panels produce at home instead of feeding it back into the electricity grid. While solar batteries can offer a powerful economic benefit for homeowners, the cost of a battery may not make financial sense for everyone.  In this episode, you will learn more about the cost and benefits of installing a solar battery for your home.

The absolute fastest and cheapest way to get into solar without any of your own money out of pocket is going with a Power Purchase Agreement. In this episode, we walk you through the process of getting solar and how long it takes to get it installed and activated.

Nick looked into other solar companies and had a hard time getting qualified because he didn't have great credit. It's common not to get approved when applying for solar with a low credit score. This is why we partnered with a credit repair agency that helps repair credit while getting solar.  We got Nick qualified for solar and helped repair his credit, so much so that he's selling his home, bought a new one, and is getting solar on both houses.

A big concern or question people ask is, how can I get solar with poor or low credit? Is that even possible?

700 or 650 is the magic number in most loans or financing options, but what if you have a credit score below 650? As of July 2020, we now have an option for you where you can get solar, even if you have a credit score lower than 650.

Can you still get solar right now and benefit from it? Will it hurt or slow down your moving process? Should you or should you not get solar before you move? The answer in most cases would be to go ahead and get solar. Here's why.

One of the hardest things people have a hard time understanding is being able to get solar installed on your roof without paying anything out of pocket. It almost sounds too good to be true, as Michelle says in this interview. 

Choosing to go solar with a power purchase agreement allows you to get your power at a cheaper (fixed) rate while also being able to use the same amount of energy.

You should be able to live comfortably without having to worry about a high power bill.  Because Michelle switched to solar, she can now use her AC without getting an astronomical bill, which is something she hasn't been able to do in the 20 years of living in her home.  She's now saving at least $200 a month using solar, is enjoying a nice cool home, and it didn't cost a dime out of her pocket.

In this interview with Jose Cravo, he shares tips on what he has done to his home to reduce his power bill and opens up about why he chose to finally go solar after looking into it for about two years.

If you're someone who thinks solar isn't worth getting because you have a small home and a low power bill, this episode is for you. We interviewed Laura Carmona, one of our latest clients, and she shares her story about why she chose to switch to solar even with living in a small community home and having an average power bill of $80-$100/mo.
