How do rate increases affect solar savings?
Electric rates in Texas go up about 5.3% per year on average. Over 20 years, that compounds significantly. Solar locks in today's rates. Your $164/month savings today could be $246/month in 10 years if rates keep climbing.
How much do solar panels save over 25 years?
