The Basics<\/h2>\n

When it comes to considering the purchase of solar panels, potential customers often have a combination of personal priorities that motivate them. Some are driven by their environmental aspirations, wanting to reduce their carbon footprint, while others seek more self-reliance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the reason, the common goal is to save money by generating independent power.<\/p>\n

For an average Ontario homeowner consuming about 9,000 kWhs of electricity annually, installing a 7,500-watt solar array can offset 100% of their electrical use.<\/p>\n

With the current cost of solar generation ranging between $2.50 and $3.00 per watt, such an installation will cost between $18,750 and $22,500.<\/p>\n

To determine the payback period for a solar panel system, one can use the simple payback equation: system cost \u00f7 value of energy produced = years to payback.<\/p>\n

Do the Math<\/h2>\n

However, a few factors need to be considered, such as the fluctuating electric rates and the value of solar power, which can range between 13.5 and 18 cents during mid-peak to peak times.<\/p>\n

The Solar Net Metering Calculator can help calculate the payback period of a net metering solar panel system quickly.<\/p>\n

Ontario residents can benefit from several available programs that can reduce their payback period.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,000 in government rebates for renewable energy generation systems, including solar panels.<\/p>\n

Net metering allows homeowners to trade the excess electricity they supply for credits that apply to their energy bills.<\/p>\n

Now is the Time for Opportunity<\/h2>\n

The cost of solar panels in Ontario is becoming increasingly affordable as solar technology advances.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, new energy storage technology promises to lower the cost even more, offering homeowners a wider range of options.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Given the currently available programs, now is an excellent time to consider solar for your home.<\/p>\n
