When you make the decision to put solar on your roof, MNC Solar Power work with you every step of the way to tailor a system to suit your power usage patterns, available roof top space and budget. In this hypothetical case study,

Challenge:
Bev and Terry not only want a reduced electricity bill, they want to use more energy and not feel guilty about their impact on the environment. The couple use more than the average amount of electricity. Bev has a passion for baking and her oven is going most days. She bakes for fundraisers and supports her community groups. She loves it. Bev’s top of the range oven does consume quite a bit of power. Bev also likes to keep her home comfortable with a large split system air conditioning unit and while not a concern yet, Bev is aware of rising energy costs. Terry also has his hobbies. His well equiped workshop is full of all kinds of power hungry tools and an old fridge he uses to keep the beers cold. The couple also have a heated spa that they also use daily.

Solution:
At MNC Solar Power we proposed a 10.375kW system with a real world estimated annual production of 16,712kWh. The impact on Bev and Terry’s average monthly bill has been to reduce it to zero. In fact, they are now generating surplus energy, leading to monthly credits of approximately $42.42. This solar solution has converted annual electricity expenses of approximately $2,666.99 into a credit of $506.09. By adopting a solar solution, this couple will enjoy an estimated annual saving of $3,176.08.

Environmental Benefits:
Beyond financial benefits, Bev no longer has to feel hesitant when turning on the oven for hours, Terry can enjoy his workshop hobbies (and the beer fridge) knowing they are contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. By eliminating reliance on conventional energy sources, Bev and Terry’s 10.375kW solar system is estimated to save the equivalent of 5704 kg of coal per year in avoided power plant emissions.

Cost Benefits:

With a projected net return of 616% over 20 years and a rate of return on cash invested of 36%, we hope this solar case study gives you some insight as to the benefits of investing in a solar system of your own. Solar also adds value to your home should you wish to sell at any point so if you want to make today’s money work harder for you tomorrow, a solar installation is certainly a compelling argument in our sunny climate.
