Importance of Going Solar Now
EDISON ISSUES
1. Rate Spike Increases to Continue
-
Edison's Legal Notice shows their planned rate increases for the next 4 years
-
For 2025, their increase will be 22.6%. An average $200 bill will jump to $246/month.
-
The next 3 years show 6% increases. Yet, the Altadena fire suits will drive up rates significantly more than that...similar to the spikes from the Thomas fire.
2. Lawsuits are building against Edison for the Eaton/Altadena wildfires
-
Prosecutors allege the utility failed to de-energize its power equipment and clear brush
-
For the 2017 ​Thomas fire, Edison was fined $550 million​
-
Edison sharply increased rates and still bill homeowners monthly to
repay the fines
-
-
Attorneys are taking to TV commercials and social media to escalate
the number of lawsuits from the Eaton/Altadena wildfires​​​​​​​ -
Sharp Edison rate increases are anticipated once the lawsuits are settled
3. Edison fires cost average customer >$300+/year
4. Edison will turn off power more frequently to reduce fire liabilities
-
Homes equipped with batteries are becoming more and more important
-
Get off the grid as much as possible
GOVERNMENT ISSUES
1. Tariffs
-
Most solar and battery equipment is made globally with parts from some of the heavily penalized countries
-
We have a certain amount of inventory yet if tariffs continue, your price will be impacted
2. Potential Cancellation of Federal Solar Tax Credits
-
As our president is making major cuts across all levels, he has stated that the tax credits are on his potential cancellation list
WHY WAIT?
-
Now is the least expensive pricing for solar. Unfortunately, it will only get more expensive from here, like so many costs we are experiencing.
-
$0 out of pocket
-
Equipment & installation costs are covered by the Federal Solar Tax Credit
-
The first money you will pay is after your system is installed and operating
-
It’s quick: takes about 2 hours total of your time over 6-12 weeks
-
Installation is 1 day
