Going Solar – The Payoff

THE PAYOFF THE #1 QUESTION TO ASK; HOW LONG WILL MY SYSTEM TAKE TO PAY FOR ITSELF? Most companies completely avoid this topic in order to get away with unethically overcharging for solar installations. At Jackson Solar we believe that if you are really saving money by going solar, then your system should pay for itself. In order to do that reliably, it must pay for itself well-within it's warrantied period. We aim to provide a payoff period of less than half the life of a general warrantied solar system, which is 12.5 years, meaning if a system saves you $1200 per year (7 kW system), then it should cost you no more than $15000. Though historically utility rates tend to increase, we don't assume this increase in calculations as utilities fluctuate with market conditions, meaning they can go up or down. See the examples below:

8 kW SYSTEM - $17,500 ~32 kWh produced per day x 365 Days Per Year x 12.5 Year Payoff Target x 0.12 Cents per kWh = 17,520 An 8 kilowatt solar system should cost you no more than about $17,500 total including installation in order for it to pay for itself in 12.5 years. 9 kW SYSTEM - $19,700 ~36 kWh produced per day x 365 Days Per Year x 12.5 Year Payoff Target x 0.12 Cents per kWh = 19,710 A 9 kilowatt solar system should cost you no more than about $19,700 total including installation in order for it to pay for itself in 12.5 years. 10 kW SYSTEM - $21,900 ~40 kWh produced per day x 362 Days Per Year x 12.5 Year Payoff Target x 0.12 Cents per kWh = 21,900 A 10 kilowatt solar system should cost you no more than about $21,900 total including installation in order for it to pay for itself in 12.5 years.
