Overview

Solar power reliably and consistently saves you money year after year. You’ll start to see savings on your very first electricity bill.

How much will it cost?

The cost of solar panels varies depending on the size of your system. You can choose as many panels as fit your house and your budget. Government and utility rebates and incentives dramatically offset the out of pocket cost. To get a quick estimate on what a system for your home might cost, please use our Solar Calculator.

Why does a solar installation make such good financial sense?

It comes with rebates.

A wide variety of federal, state, local, and utility incentives reduce the upfront cost of the system by over 50%. Astrum Solar handles all the paperwork to make sure you get the maximum savings.

It offers a high return on investment.

Solar provides a hedge against rising electricity prices, effectively locking in your rate for the next 25 years and yielding a double digit return on investment--far better than most other investment opportunities.

It increases the value of your home.

According to a widely cited formula in The Appraisal Journal, home value is increased by $20,000 for every $1,000 reduction in annual operating costs from energy efficiency. For most systems, the home price appreciation on day one is higher than the out of pocket costs! Another study by the Department of Energy showed that homes with solar panels appreciate faster and sell more easily than identical homes without solar panels in a neighboring community.
