Is solar a viable option for me in Downey?

Looking for top-rated solar panel installation in Downey? We are here to help! Semper Solaris is a locally run and Veteran owned company here to assist you with all of your solar needs. We understand that installing solar can be a big step, so here is some information to help you.

If you are looking for an honest company that has the best solar installation in Downey, Semper Solaris is it! Living in Downey, which has fantastic weather, offers you on average almost 290 sunny days a year, which is 24% higher than other cities in the nation. Why not take advantage of harnessing that sunshine to power your home?

Solar is also an excellent investment for your home. In the last 10 years, the cost of putting in solar has decreased by 60%, which means many more people can afford to install it.

The best thing about solar is that it is a clean source of energy. It is also an infinite and renewable energy source. Now you don’t have to worry about polluting your home and the environment for electricity! Our solar company in Downey can come out and go over your options to see what system size is right for your family’s needs. We will never try to upsell you or convince you to get something you do not need!

Worried about the cost?

The Federal Government extended the period allowed for the 26% tax credit they are offering to citizens who install solar. This can decrease the cost of your solar panels by quite a bit. Southern California has a high grid electricity cost at $0.17 per kilowatt-hour. With the more than 13% hike in our expenses in the last year, your solar panels can help offset that quite a bit, or even eliminate your electric bill totally!

 In fact, many solar customers report that they pay their system off in about 8 years. Depending on usage in your home, you may be able to enjoy having no power bill for the lifetime of the solar panels, which is usually 25 years!

Are there other ways for me to save money on my solar?

Yes! SCE offers net metering, which can save you even more money! The federal government requires most power providers to get some of their power from renewable energy sources, and this can benefit you. When your panels are providing more power than you can use, SCE will “buy” that power back from you by applying credits to your account. You can then use your saved credits to supplement your supply like during the winter when your panels may not keep up with demand. If you have credits left at the end of the year, SCE will pay you for them!

Call us today! We can schedule an appointment too to have an expert solar contractor in Downey come out and look over your home and usage to see what is right for you!
