A COMPARABLE ANALYSIS WITH SOLAR VS NOT SOLAR

Case Study: 1604 W. Calle De Pompas

One of our customers conducted a year-long comparison between two homes located in the same community. The first home was significantly larger and equipped with a professionally installed solar energy system. The second home, purchased later, was smaller but did not have solar. By carefully tracking monthly utility bills over a full twelve-month period, the homeowner was able to compare the real-world cost of operating both homes.

Despite its larger size, the solar-powered home consistently resulted in lower overall monthly energy costs when the fixed solar payment and remaining utility charges were combined. In contrast, the smaller home without solar incurred higher monthly electricity expenses, demonstrating how a properly designed solar system can substantially offset energy costs—even for a larger residence.

While every home is unique and actual savings depend on factors such as energy consumption, utility rates, roof orientation, system size, and weather conditions, this customer's year-long experience provides a practical example of the potential financial benefits of residential solar. Rather than relying solely on estimates or projections, the comparison reflects actual utility bills from two homes in the same neighborhood over the course of an entire year.

This case study illustrates how renewable energy can help homeowners reduce long-term electricity costs while providing greater control over their monthly energy expenses. Individual results will vary, but for many Arizona homeowners, solar represents an investment that can continue delivering value for decades.
