A Review On Can Installing a 6kW Solar System Eliminate Your Electric Bill?

Every homeowner who is contemplating a residential solar system installation on their home will ask; can installing a solar system eliminate my monthly electric bill? With all of the fanfare and wild claims being made by everyone from solar installation companies to those merchants selling online DIY kits, it's no wonder the common homeowner is confused. Well, let’s put it straight right away. The answer is a bit complex and depends on so many variables that it is daunting to provide an answer that applies to everyone.

In this blog the agenda is outlining the factors that come into play when considering a residential 6kW solar system and then if you are interested in solar energy be more informed about determining whether it makes sense in your particular case.

The foremost and easiest place to kick off your research is to examine your utility bill. Write down the answers to the questions such as:

v  Will your electric utility bill exceed $300 at any time during the year?

v  Is your monthly kilowatt-hour usage exceeding 1500?

v  Do you reside in a state where the cost per kilowatt-hour fluctuates seasonally?

v  Is your electricity usage (and/or cost per kWh) fluctuating upwards of 25%?

v  Are you observing that cost of your electricity usage is rising every year?

Other Factors To Note

If the reply to each of these questions is yes, then you are a possible customer for residential 6kWsolar system. Whether installing a solar system will eliminate your electric bill is based on other factors, such as how much you actually are ready to spend on a system. An honest and accurate answer to the question is yes, you can eliminate your electric bill once for all, but the cost of doing so may be more than makes financial sense.

If, for instance, your utility usage was 2000 kWh per month and you install a system that supplies you 4000 kWh of available solar electric power, your utility bill may be eliminated; nevertheless, the cost of the system may be more than you pay for electricity from the utility company. On the flip side, if your system had been sized effectively, your bill will perhaps not be at zero every month, but it would surely be massively reduced and maybe eliminated for most of the year.

The Bottomline

Finally, the solar installation company you select impacts not only the price you pay, but the quality of materials used in the installation including the regular maintenance and support. All boils down to you choosing a reputed installation vendor.
