Learn How Much You Could Be Saving With Solar Panels On Your Texas Home

If you’re like many of the Alba Energy employees from our Austin office, your recent Summer power bill was easily $250 dollars or more! How does it make you feel when you open up your energy bill each month and give away your hard earned money to the local power utility?

Wouldn’t it be great if instead of stressing out about paying the monthly power bill, you were excited to open each bill to see how LITTLE money you owed? Even better, how would it make you feel if the power company paid YOU for power?

For Alba Energy solar customers across Texas, the pain of opening the power bill each month has disappeared and instead been replaced with excitement. Solar panels allow you to produce your own power, saving you money from buying electricity from the local utility.

How Solar Panels Help You Save Money

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels absorb energy from the sun and make direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter changes this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. The inverter is connected to your utility meter and makes a connection with the local power grid.

Solar Panel Savings Analysis

To help illustrate just how much money you could be saving with a solar panel installation, we’ve compiled the following solar savings analysis using PVWatts calculations of an average 8.0 kW home solar energy system, and assuming an electricity rate of $0.10/kWh.

According to PVWatts:

An 8 kW solar panel installation in Texas will produce 11,851 kWh per year
This equates to $1,238 annual savings based on $0.10/kWh

Solar Panel Savings Gets Better Over Time

An 8 kW solar panel installation will produce the equivalent of over $6,000 dollars in savings over the next 5 years!
And over $12,000 dollars during the next 10 years!
An 8 kW solar panel installation will provide approximately $31,000 dollars in savings over the next 25 years!

What Would You Do With An Extra $31,000?!

Here are a few things you could spend your savings from solar on:

A four-year college degree at the University of Texas at Austin (tuition and fees, plus room and board)
15,500 gallons of gasoline (or enough to refill the tank of a 35 MPG car over 400 times assuming $2/gallon)
89 round-trip flights from Austin to Las Vegas (assuming $348 per round-trip flight)
155 brand new iPhone 6s
Over 600 tickets to Schlitterbahn Waterpark
124 music festival 3-day passes (based on $250 3-day pass to ACL)
364 shopping carts full of groceries (assuming $85 for a full load of groceries at HEB)
