Don’t Wait, Buyback Rates Steadily Declining
If you’ve been on the fence about solar, there are a few reasons why you should make the switch to solar now.
To begin with, you could save a lot of money! In fact, the majority of the time, we can help you get panels for no upfront cost or down payment. That means you can save on your electricity costs while helping the environment with nothing out of your pocket!
Another reason to consider solar is that there are various options to take advantage of federal and state tax credits which are scheduled to lower over time.
One of the biggest reasons to make the switch now however is the utility companies steadily declining buy back rates. Let’s look at APS for example. Here in Arizona they have given one of the best buyback rates and solar customers typically see a massive savings when they are the energy provider. However, just as any business who is having an outside source cut into their profits, they are continaully looking for ways to make it up. One is rate hikes each year between 3% – 6%. Aside from this, they also lower their energy buy back rates every year.
From September 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018 the APS buyback rate for Solar produced energy that was sent back to the grid was $0.12900 per kWh. On October 1st, 2018 that went down to $0.11610, then $0.10450 on October 1, 2019 and is slated to go down to $0.09405 on October 1st, 2021.
If you’re like most people, your financial decision-making is complicated by constantly shifting variables. With rates continually rising and buyback rates declining, your best financial decision is to lock in your solar pricing while the rates are where they currently are. It’s only good sense. And you won’t have to sit around waiting for the utility company to realize it, either.
