Was the Solar Quest Worth It? The journey to a solar powered home can be a marathon… we started the trek in November 2014 and after the prerequisite bureaucracy, the switch was finally thrown March 7. Now, it was just a matter of time to see if all the promises of energy savings were fact or fiction… you be the judge. Our electric bill, pre solar, from APS for February 2015 was $192.53… the recently arrived March bills, including the lease payment to Sunrun, was $98.46… and we have a 185kWh credit which will apply to next month’s usage. Of course, this was only the first month… we will see over the summer how the overall savings will mature. Like any relationship we will see how long the “honeymoon” period lasts. If the Sunrun, 20 year guarantee of constant maintenance, cost and performance is fulfilled it should be a long and happy romance. Going solar is a commitment and you have lots of options and choices. To us, the bottom line was that it “just made sense”. It is also really cool to think that the sun, which we have an abundance of here in Arizona, combined with technology can give us inexpensive, non-polluting energy. If you are considering solar we recommend you do your research, consult several companies and find the best deal for you.
