Rising Electricity Rates in Folsom

With Folsom’s average residential electricity rate at 20 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), energy costs can add up quickly. And the rates are only increasing. In fact, both major providers have implemented steep rate hikes in 2024:

SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) increased rates by 2.75% in May of this year, adding an average of $3.72 to monthly bills. This is one of four planned increases for 2024 and 2025.
PG&E also customers saw their fourth rate hike in 2024, adding about $600 to annual bills.

As rates continue to rise, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their electricity bills. Solar power offers a practical solution to protect yourself against future rate hikes. Most solar adopters see their systems pay for themselves in around five years, after that it’s all sunshine and savings. By investing in solar, you can take control of your energy costs and contribute to a cleaner energy future.

Power Outages in California

California residents are no strangers to power outages, with recent years showing a troubling trend. Over the past five years, California has experienced significant disruptions to its power grid, affecting millions of customers and lasting for extended periods.

On average, the state faces about 44 power outages each year, impacting around 1.48 million customers and resulting in nearly 16 days of total outage time.

These numbers highlight why energy independence is becoming increasingly important for California homeowners. Solar power systems with battery storage can provide crucial backup during outages, offering both protection against grid failures and savings on high electricity costs.

Why Should I Go Solar?

Lower Energy Costs

Solar power can dramatically reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity costs. Watch your energy expenses shrink while your savings grow year after year.

Solar Incentives

Take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit, net metering rewards, and PACE financing options. These programs make your transition to clean energy more affordable and accelerate your return on investment.

Predictable Rates

By generating your own power, you shield yourself from rising utility costs. Solar energy provides stable, predictable energy expenses for years to come, giving you better control over your household budget.

Increased Home Value

Solar installations are a smart upgrade that can pay off in the future. Many buyers are willing to pay a premium for solar-equipped homes. When it’s time to sell, your solar investment could translate into a higher market value for your Folsom property.

Power Up Your Solar System with Battery Storage

Elevate your solar system by adding battery storage. This cutting-edge technology is becoming a must-have for solar-powered homes. With a battery, you can use your solar energy 24/7, regardless of weather or time of day. Stay powered during outages, increase your savings by using stored energy during peak rate times, and achieve true energy independence. It’s the smart way to maximize your solar investment and take control of your power.

Understanding Solar Batteries

Throughout the day, solar panels harness the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. When your panels generate more power than your home needs, the extra energy can be stored in your solar battery to be used later. With a solar battery, you can tap into your stored energy when your panels aren’t producing power, like at night or when it’s cloudy. You can also use your battery during peak utility hours when electricity prices are at their highest to maximize savings.

Top Solar Battery Options

When it comes to solar batteries, you have options. Our top recommendations are the Tesla Powerwall 3, the FranklinWH Battery or the Enphase IQ. These batteries stand out for their performance and reliability. These batteries are all great options and deciding which one to pair with your solar system depends on your energy needs.

When comparing these batteries, it’s important to understand two key specifications:

Energy Availability: This refers to the amount of power the battery can consistently provide, measured in kilowatts (kW). A battery with enough energy availability will be able to keep most homes (and all of their appliances) running as usual, even during an outage.

Energy Storage: This is the total amount of energy the battery can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). A battery with a larger capacity allows homes to stay powered for longer than a battery with a smaller capacity.

All of these battery options are designed to provide sufficient continuous power and energy storage to keep most homes running efficiently even when the grid goes out or during periods of reduced solar production.

Opting for a high-quality battery like one of these will help you decrease your dependence on the grid, save money and make sure you have reliable backup power ready when you need it.
