If your looking into going solar there's quite a few things to look into, main one and most important of course is pricing. How does PEG Energy compare to other solar companies price points? Thousands lower! A common misconception is "that we are presenting the price after the 30% tax credit", which is completely false. We generate a custom solar design & quote that accurately depicts Total system cost, Tax credit amount, & finally Net system cost. The image below is the the cost for a 9.6 kW system size, which is the equivalent of 31 panels.  The Total Loan Amount or Retail price for a 9.6 kW system from PEG Energy is $23,064, yes that number is significantly lower if you've quote shopped. To compare, the price range you might see from other solar companies for the same system size is $31,713 - $43,245. Yes our price is lower and no we don't use "cheap" equipment, we recommend & present the best the solar industry has to offer. Our ultra premium recommendation is Solaria, which significantly beats panels that are often presented as "the best" which are LG, Panasonic, & Mission. Our price for a 9.6 kW system using Solaria panels is $25,466. Which is still thousands lower than the red price points above that you can expect from other solar installers, oh and yes that is the total system cost. Don't just take our word for it, here's a review straight from our Energysage profile.  We've helped hundreds of smart quote shoppers in Laredo, San Antonio, Corpus, McAllen, Mission, Edinburgh, & the rest of South Texas! Homeowners often quote shop 3-10 times, and yes time and time again we're still the best price. Honestly, we are just fair and want to make sure we offer the best pricing for the best savings guarantee!

 Roof-top solar has become a popular option for homeowners in Laredo, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, McAllen and all over Texas. What are the actual benefits of a solar panel system for both our wallets and environment? For every 1,000 kWh of solar energy produced there is an environmental impact comparable to planting 39 trees or avoiding 1,500lbs of CO2 emissions. In addition, purchasing or financing a solar panel system yields great savings & requires only simple transition. PEG Energy's price point for solar rivals that of every solar company using comparable top tier 1 solar equipment. Below is a quick average estimate comparison between a home with & without solar.
The cherry on top to completing your solar panel system would be adding a back up battery that will protect your home or business in the event of an outage. A battery works by storing energy for later use during a power outage, or cycling your energy for maximized self consumption in the evening or night. In contrast, with off-grid systems, multiple batteries come into play to completely back up your property as you wouldn't be relying on solar net metering. An existing or newly installed solar system running on inverter brands such as SolarEdge or Pika Energy are compatible and ready for a battery upgrade.
Do I need a battery for solar? While it's not required to have a battery to go solar, it's an attractive option and highly recommended for clients looking for maximum benefits. Common reasons for a battery backup include protecting critical necessities such as internet, light, communication, medical and accessibility devices. In addition, a battery upgrade can highly complement an EV charger if you have an electric vehicle such as a Tesla by providing power from your own system.
Article by: Juan Carmona  Solar has become an affordable option and a great opportunity for any individual aspiring to experience the independence of harvesting their own energy. The multiple benefits of going solar are- being able to own your own energy rather than rent it, turning an expense into an asset, energy security for both the short and long term, and unparalleled savings!
The value of going solar takes action in different aspects, from financial to environmental. According to Conserve Energy Future there are ten strong reasons why solar energy is still a top choice for homes and businesses. One of the main reasons why businesses are now considering going solar is because of the amount of savings they are gaining. For example, on average, the process of installation of a solar system is cheaper compared to the installation of a grid electricity, as well as the fact that once the solar energy system is installed, the solar power harnessed operates by itself with no additional costs. This increases awareness throughout businesses that want to invest and work on long term projects with high return of investments. Another reason why solar has so much value is that it creates a cleaner environment and encourages our society to advance to a self-sustainable future through renewable energy. This has become such an important issue to address in our communities as we have seen how global warming is affecting not only our environment but also the way we live. This is why the value of going solar has become a better innovative solution. On the contrary, other traditional forms of energy have caused harm with the accumulation of carbon emission into the atmosphere. Article by: Karla Martinez  The common misconception is that solar is too expensive and requires money upfront to get started. This may have been true a few years ago but thanks to the Energy Tax credit that applies a 30% credit of the total cost of the system that you receive after filing your end of the year taxes. Combined with our low prices which are an average of 30-50% lower than other companies system for the same if not better top tier systems the time to change to solar couldn't be better.
So do you have empty out your piggy bank to go solar? Not at all, PEG Energy strives to make the transition to solar easy and without out of pocket cost. An investment that stays within your budget to help you save money on energy cost and improve our environment. Going solar can actually help make you money in the form of savings. Each solar panel system is tailored to be lower than your current payment for electricity and the best solar offset for the most savings. In addition you can also benefit from the referral program that awards $200 per home owner that you refer and goes solar with us. Article by: Juan Carmona  How does solar net metering work?
When a home owner first gets a solar panel system they have to check if their current electricity provider currently provides a buy back program, which allows solar owners to both sell and buy electricity. Some electric companies have different rates, Green Mountain for example, provides a equal buying and selling rate. Why is it important to have the same buy back rate? Because in order for the system to make money for you in the form of savings electric bills, companies must be willing to both buy and sell at an equal rate to maximize the savings a home can produce with solar. Just like the stock market you are buying and selling, during the day your system is over producing and selling back to the grid. Then at night time you are buying back, and we custom tailor your systems in order to sell more energy than you buying back and that is the reason why you are able to receive negative electric bills, which results in savings. When a battery is installed, net metering works as putting some energy you use into your home, other you store in the battery and the rest you sell it back to the grid. This is to ensure when in the event of a power outage your battery kicks in and is able to back up your energy usage during it. Article by: Juan Carmona
Interest Rate for SolarThere are three main things to consider when it comes to the monthly payment of your loan: interest rate, principle and interest per payment. Our solar clients typically benefit from an interest rate of 4.99%; however, with excellent conditions that could go down to as little as 2.99% according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Even on the high end of the interest rate spectrum which could be up to 8% is it still worth it? The answer is yes, why is that? Well compare that to the current interest rate that you are currently paying for your electric bill. That's 100% interest, no principle, no ownership what so ever. Not only would you benefit from being able to produce your own energy, you get to own that system and that is largely a great return on investment. Our tailored solar systems are priced lower than your per month electric bill. How soon do you start saving? As soon as you say yes to solar.

Article by: Juan Carmona  There are many ways to create energy we use in our everyday life. However, all those methods of creating energy are ultimately possible because of the Sun. All the energy sources we use are solar power, oil, coal and natural gas it's just old decayed plants and swamps that originally got their power from the Sun using their leaves and photosynthesis.  Even things like wind turbines are solar powered because the wind blows when the Sun heats up the atmosphere unevenly.
As humans we are even solar power because we get our energy from plants or animals that ate plants which again get their power from the Sun. Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas, Hydro, Nuclear, Oil, Wind and Solar are the main ways we are currently producing energy. These methods are indirectly getting energy except for Solar. Solar is the most direct way of getting energy from the sun and is a positive alternative to better our environment.
Article by: Juan Carmona Many people looking to go solar often find themselves asking how will their solar system hold up to the natural elements of the environment. Rest assure, solar panels are built to last for decades at a low maintenance.
In the event of a storm with high winds and perhaps hail falling the solar panels are able to hold up. In most cases it is often the areas not covered by the solar panels that are damaged. Have doubts? You can simply check your monitoring system that's included in your solar installation in which you can see how your solar system is producing. Just like a home security system we can also check the status of your solar panels and will notify you if anything is wrong.
Solar panels can last for decades, just like a car if it is properly taken care of, it will last longer. As stated above, the solar panels basically maintenance themselves with the rain, but debris could get stuck or cover your system from properly producing energy. If that's the case we are simply a call away to help fix any issues. Article by: Juan Carmona |
