Why you should invest in residential solar energy

Not all home improvement projects offer the same return on investment that solar energy does. Just Solar's signature solar energy systems allow residential homeowners to take advantage of clean, renewable energy from our Bay Area sun while reducing or eliminating energy bills. From rooftop to ground mount and everything in between, Mint Solar is the Bay Area solar company with the experience to build the perfect system for your home and your budget. From the current NEM agreement to the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act, there are many opportunities available to expand solar access. There's never been a better time to invest in solar energy, and by working with us, you'll be able to lower your monthly energy bill while increasing the value of your property.

Residential solar is a solid investment

While it may seem like the upfront cost is high, the reality is that you will be replacing your standard electricity bill with what you pay for your solar power system. In many cases, this payment is less than what you would pay for conventional electricity. Best of all, you own your solar power system, and once your solar panel is paid for, you own all the energy it produces, free and clean. Plus, there are many accessibility options for those looking to invest in solar, including our zero-down financing options – through our partnership with Mosaic, we can give you zero interest and no down payment for 12-18 months. Cannot afford a down payment.! Think of the head start savings you'll get with an offer like this.

Rooftop Solar and Your Return on Investment

The average solar power system will pay for itself within seven to nine years. That leaves two-thirds of the life of a solar power system for you to generate clean, cheap energy, as most solar power systems have a lifespan of 25+ years.

Consider the rate you are paying for electricity now

Know the rate you pay for energy now and the average monthly cost of your current electricity bill. Knowing this gives you a good baseline for monthly payments that you'll be comfortable with when determining financing options.

Financial incentives reduce your costs

Check, and check often, for any government incentives, or rebates for clean energy. These change frequently as new incentives and discounts are added. An existing federal program, the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), saves you an average of $9,000 on the cost and installation of your solar panels. Plus, this tax credit was recently increased to 30%, meaning more of your money stays with you - where it is!

The effect of solar on your property value

Adding renewable energy like solar power to your home can increase its value. As new buyers increasingly search for that eco-sustainable lifestyle, solar panels have the potential to be a huge deal maker when it comes to selling your home for a little more than you're willing to pay. We typically see a large increase in property value based on the solar system, which is another way that the solar system pays for itself.
