Curious about solar investment? It’s not like a 401(k)—it’s a way to lock in your energy costs. Instead of watching your electricity bill rise over time, you pay a fixed solar payment. And when those payments end, you’ve got years of warranty-backed power left. Watch the video to learn how solar can be your smart, long-term energy solution!

Speaker 1: Let's talk solar investment, what it is, and what it's not. What it's not is a 401 [k] or IRA type of typical investment. What it is is an alternate energy solution. So instead of paying your electricity bill every month for $105, you pay solar power for the same amount of money. Over time, that $105 tends to grow to 200 in 20 years from now, but your solar payment will still only be $105. That's the security you're looking for. And that is solar. Oh, and by the way, when your solar payments end, you still have warrantied power for years and years, not sure any electricity companies are gonna be doing that anytime soon.

Q&A 

How is solar an investment compared to traditional options like a 401(k) or IRA?

Solar isn't a traditional investment like a 401(k) or IRA. Instead, it’s an alternative energy solution that provides long-term financial benefits by stabilizing your energy costs.

How does solar energy protect me from rising electricity costs?

With solar, your monthly payment remains fixed, unlike traditional electricity bills, which can increase over time. For example, if you're paying $105 today, it could double to $200 in 20 years, but your solar payment stays the same.

What happens after my solar payments are finished?

Once your solar payments are completed, you’ll still enjoy warrantied power for years to come, providing ongoing savings that traditional utility companies cannot offer.

Is solar power a secure long-term solution?

Yes, solar power provides long-term stability by locking in your energy costs and offering warranties that ensure reliable power for many years, even after your payments end.
