Slashing Bills and Harnessing Sunshine in the Face of Rising Power Costs
Picture this: you’re sitting at home in Nova Scotia, opening yet another envelope from Nova Scotia Power. As you pull out the bill, you see yet another rate increase – a whopping 6.9% in 2023 and the same again in 2024. You sigh, thinking about the carbon tax and how it has escalated the cost of power.
Now, imagine a different scenario. You open your energy bill to find a minimal amount. No increase. No hefty carbon tax. Just simple, clear, reduced rates that bring a smile to your face. This isn’t a dream; it’s a reality that NS Goes Solar can help you achieve.
Harness the Sun, Curb the Costs
At NS Goes Solar, we know the power of the sun, and we’re not just talking about Vitamin D. Solar energy is a game-changer in the face of escalating power costs and rising carbon taxes. But how does it translate into savings for you, the homeowner?
Let’s dive into the numbers.
The average solar system installation costs between $25,000 and $30,000. That might seem like a high upfront cost, but thanks to the Greener Homes financing loan, you can get a 0% interest loan to cover these costs over ten years. Plus, you can take advantage of a $5,000 grant to further reduce the cost.
Here’s where the math gets exciting.
If your average monthly power bill is $200, that’s $2,400 a year. The 6.9% increase in 2023 adds $165.60 to that. Another 6.9% increase in 2024 adds a further $180.18. Over ten years, that’s a shocking $27,748.06, not including any additional increases or the carbon tax.
But with solar?
Your upfront investment can be spread across ten years, making it $2,500 to $3,000 per year (after the $5,000 grant). But here’s the real kicker: with net metering, your solar panels can generate enough power to cover your consumption.
Yes, you read that right. Any excess energy your panels produce can be fed back into the grid, earning you credits on your power bill. This means that, from day one, you could be paying the same (or even less!) than your current power bill.
