Know where the money goes
Understanding your electricity costs.
Your bill reflects both how much electricity your home uses and how your utility prices that energy. Supply, delivery, rates, fees, and household demand all influence the amount due.
Common household demand
Where electricity is being used.
These everyday systems often account for the largest share of a residential electric bill.
Appliances
Refrigerators, laundry, cooking, and dishwashing create steady daily demand.
Pool and Hot Water
Pumps, heaters, and circulation equipment can create large seasonal loads.
Lighting
Efficient fixtures help, but lighting still contributes throughout the home.
Electronics and Other
TVs, routers, computers, chargers, and standby devices use energy every day.

What determines your savings?
Electricity Usage
The more grid electricity your household uses, the more solar may be able to offset.
Utility Rates
Higher electricity prices can increase the value of every kilowatt-hour your system produces.
Battery Storage
Stored solar energy may reduce evening grid use and provide backup for selected circuits.
Solar Exposure
Roof direction, tilt, available area, and shading all influence annual production.
System Size
A properly sized system balances roof capacity, usage, budget, and long-term goals.
Future Energy Needs
EV charging, heat pumps, additions, and new appliances should be considered before design.
