Solar can produce electricity at a lower cost than your utility company. The more you produce and use your own electricity, the less you purchase. Over time, solar may even pay for itself AND your new roof, via monthly electric bill savings and government incentives.

???You may also get credit for solar energy you send back to the grid when your panels produce more power than your home uses. This could further increase your monthly savings.??

Of course, savings will vary and are not guaranteed. Incentives and eligibility requirements vary and availability is not guaranteed.

Choosing the right battery requires careful consideration, as not all batteries are created equal. At ABC, we work with you to select the best product tailored to your specific needs, unlike many companies that take a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer a range of storage options, recognizing that every home or business is unique. Just as generic batteries differ from name brands, solar storage quality can vary significantly. That’s why we prioritize your best interests over brand preferences or sales quotas. In an industry crowded with aggressive, unregulated “experts,” ABC stands for integrity and long-term reliability.

At ABC Roofing & Solar, we understand that solar is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we take the time to review your personal utility bill to create a custom solar system that fits your specific energy needs—something not all contractors offer. We also offer multiple solar panel options to suit different style preferences, ensuring you get the best fit for your home. In addition, we go the extra mile to explain how solar will benefit you personally, helping you understand the long-term savings and advantages. We customize the solar design to match the unique layout of your home, maximizing both efficiency and aesthetics for the best possible results.

The transition from PG&E’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) 2.0 to NEM 3.0 has brought significant changes to how homeowners are compensated for the excess solar energy they generate and send back to the grid. Under NEM 2.0, homeowners were credited for excess energy at or near the retail rate, making solar a highly attractive option for reducing energy bills. However, with NEM 3.0, the compensation rates have been reduced, meaning homeowners will receive less for the energy they send back to the grid.

While this change may impact the savings potential for new solar customers, adding a battery storage system can still offer substantial financial benefits. With a battery, homeowners can store the excess energy their solar panels generate during the day and use it when energy rates are higher, such as in the evening or during peak demand times. This self-consumption model allows you to maximize the use of your solar energy and reduce reliance on grid power, especially during costly peak hours.

By pairing solar panels with a battery, you can avoid paying higher rates for grid electricity, enhance your energy independence, and still significantly lower your utility bills despite the NEM 3.0 changes. Additionally, with the right battery system, you may also qualify for federal tax incentives and other rebates, further boosting your savings.

Solar is a long-term investment, so it's essential to weigh the initial costs against the long-term savings on your electricity bills. In many cases, the system can pay for itself over time, but understanding this timeline is important for making a well-informed decision.
