Why You Don’t Need to Save For Solar

  • 28th February, 2022

Solar is one of the greatest returns on investment there is for homeowners. The best part is that you don’t need to save for it, as you can use a repayment plan. “80% of our customers are using finance or repayment plans, the solar savings most times outweigh your repayments” says founder John Horan. Waiting to get solar because you are saving up for it, is costing you money by not installing it now.

It’s all about perspective. People are happy to pay their energy bill and not see a return from it, whereas, once you have a solar system, you become your own energy provider and are supplying your home with free, clean, and green energy straight from the sun costing you nothing to get started. The alternative is, staying connected with your energy retailer and continuing to pay your monthly bill with nothing in return.

 

Something else to think about, by the year 2025, 10% of all vehicles in Australia will be electric. By 2030 research suggests 30% of our vehicles will be electric.  Consider what it is costing you for fuel every week by purchasing petrol from the service station, instead, you could be charging an electric vehicle for FREE with solar. With the average Australian spending up to $100 a week on fuel for their car, installing solar cannot only save you money on your electricity bill, but will have you spending $0 on fuel as well. This is all from a system that you paid nothing upfront to get started.

 

If money is the only thing holding you back, you need to talk to us today.
