Solar Will Reduce Your Electricity Bill
The energy that is created from the power of the sun can be more efficient than energy from power lines. Solar energy is the cheapest form of energy in history! With new legislation calling for greener energy, more funding is going towards renewable energy, so that means less money has to come from your pocket.
may not feel like it, but you are probably paying way more for grid energy than you would be for solar.
The price of electricity is measured in cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national average price for electricity in June 2023 was $0.17 per kWh.
​
Grid electricity rates are already higher than solar, and they will continue to increase over time. By taking these rate hikes into account, solar panels can lower your electric bill even further.
In the last 10 years, the price of grid energy has increased 5.48% per year on average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But in 2021, the average rate increased to 12.6%! It's only going to continue to get worse in the coming years, you can expect what you're currently paying to double in the next 5-10 years. The reason for this is that in Minnesota by 2024 we want to be completely renewable electricity production and to do that your utility company will have to take down any power plants that are not renewable and have to build new infrastructure to replace them, on top of that we are using way more power each year! By more people working from home, getting electric cars, and moving to the area! To avoid being a victim of overpaying for electricity many homeowners are deciding this is the main reason they go solar.
