If you could own your home for the same cost as renting it, would you choose to rent or would you own it? (rhetorical, I know, but stay with me here). If you own a home, you are paying off a debt and one day, you will never have to pay again. When you rent a home, you have to pay whatever the landlords charge, no matter what. (if you haven’t figured it out yet, the power company is your “power landlord” 😉).
So, if you do this for your home, why not do it with your electric bill? If you get solar, you can save money from day one, and in time, you’ll never have to pay again. You’re already paying what it cost to own solar… You’re just paying the wrong company!
