Getting A Two For One Deal
When considering a renewable system, the first thought that comes to mind to most people is cost. At Brightspot, we look at the installation as an investment and so that is the approach we start with. Most people have a budget they would like to stick with so they start with those numbers and then depending on the size of system that suits their needs, make an adjustment.
Most solar installers will make their calculations based on the amount of average kilowatt hours that are used by a prospect on a monthly or annual basis and then come up with a figure based on that use to figure out how big of a system is needed and how much the system will cost. These numbers are pretty basic and so these are the figures one would usually use when sizing your system.
At Brightspot Energy Solutions, we think there is a far better approach to your investment dollars and we try to think outside of just having a system installed to offset your payment to the electric company and offer a far better investment for the same money that you would spend for the system alone. For instance, what if you were able to reduce your electric consumption up to 60% or 70% before the solar system was designed and installed? By taking those investment dollars and first fixing the very things in your home that are causing the electric meter to run as much would seem like money better spent, wouldn’t it? The cost of the system would be far less after this was done but then you would have a home that is much more comfortable to live in and then you would get the free power as a bonus.
The risk of fixing the energy wasting issues you may have in your home for the amount of money invested is very low. In addition, the returns of your investment would be very substatial when you consider other investment choices American families are making today. Take a look at what your bank or savings account has been paying over the last several years. I believe you would be far better off with the returns investing in your home’s energy efficiency then most other savings out there to invest in. And these returns will keep coming back year after year.
So when you go to consider installing a renewable energy system, the philosophy in our approach is you could have two products for less than you may have first thought. When thinking of the overall cost of the system figured for your home, the first benefit you could receive is a much more comfortable home. The second benefit is you could also get the free electricity for a lot lower price because your system required will now be much smaller than what you originally figured. And, by doing most of the work yourself, the savings will overall compound even more. With Brightspot Energy Solutions, we can help you with the best approach in becoming energy independent.
