18. Info/News
• Advice to People Considering Investing in Solar
Power
• For solar power to be an investment, the panels to save
you money in the long run.
• The solar panels cost you a certain amount of money to
install. They then make a certain amount of energy each
year, saving you a certain amount of dollars off your
power bill.
• And so, after a number of years, the cost of the panel
will be paid off in power bill savings. After this, the
power your solar panels make comes is pure profit. The
years it takes to reach this 'break even' point is called
the solar payback time.
• Ideally, you want the solar payback time to be as short
as possible.
• On average, solar electric panels take between 10-15
years to break even. Solar hot water panels usually have
5-8 year payback time.
• This is why it's important 'guarantee' your investment by
getting solar panels that have a 20-25 year warranty.
Otherwise, you're not guaranteed of having that
eventual cost savings once the payback time is over.
• Buying a solar panel that's not properly guaranteed is
like having a home with no insurance. It's a big risk, and
is usually not worth it.
• Calculating your Payback Time
• There a few ways to calculate your payback time.
• You can look at a simple money saved/cost of solar
panels equation.
• The thing to remember here is that electricity prices rise
consistently every year. This means that your solar
panels will save you increasing amounts of money over
their lifetime. This makes your payback time shorter.
• Another factor to consider when calculating solar panel
ROI is the added value to your house. Realtor studies
have shown that solar panels add value to your house.
This added value is estimated at:
15 x your yearly solar savings.
• This can become a considerable amount, and increases
every year. By taking this into account, many solar
panels can be seen to break even after a few short
years.
• If this is starting to sound complicated, try our Solar
Calculator.
• This does all the basic calculations for you. Click here to
get an estimate of your payback time.
