Welcome to our solar calculator, we are excited your level of interest has taken you to this point because this is where you can see first-hand how going solar is a great decision on so many levels.
The calculator is easy to use. Simply select the number from our list that best represents your monthly electric bill. Right now, it's set at a default setting of $150 per month. Once you pick your bill amount, you will see immediate results in the calculator. These numbers are estimates based on many assumptions, one being that you want to significantly reduce or elimate your electric bill. Keep in mind that installation and utility costs can vary considerably. We encourage you to speak with a Borrego Solar Energy Consultant who will provide you with a more detailed cost and savings estimate.

Pick the amount from the list to the left that best represents your average monthly electric bill.
Based on your $150 monthly electric bill, electricity will cost you as estimated $131,591 over a 25 year period. That's a substantial amount of money.
This is where it gets compelling. Instead of continuing to pay for your electricity, you can invest approximately $35,500 in a 6.1 kW solar system now and save $96,091 over 25 years - recouping your investment in as little as 10 years along with adding $27,000 to the value of your home.

These are compelling numbers and we hope you take this seriously. Return on investment is key wherever you put your money and we feel solar provides a very strong financial ROI with no risk. In addition to the long term ROI, going solar has an immediate positive impact on the value of your home, that's good news in today's housing market. If these numbers look daunting, please ask us about our residential power purchase agreements which can reduce up-front costs by up to 50%.
And finally, dollars and ROI aside... how many investments can you make that enable you to have such a positive effect on the environment? By switching to solar power, you will combat global warming and reduce our nation's dependence on foreign energy. Even a small solar electric system has a significant environmental impact. For example, a 2.5kW solar system reduces CO2 emissions by an amount similar to planting 1 acre of trees, or the amount of CO2 emitted by a passenger car driving 7,800 miles per year.
Next Solar Systems can make all of this happen for you now. With Federal tax incentives expiring at the end of 2008 and rebate levels dropping, now is the perfect time to schedule a solar evaluation with one of our energy consultants.
