22. ADVERTISING DISCLOSURES

Typical bill savings estimates are based on 20-year savings with a 5kW solar system. These estimates assume a utility inflation rate of 2.2% and assume 84% percent of needs met by solar panels. The electricity rates used are state averages as of September of 2016 (according to EIA). Ownership of the solar system and panels is also assumed. Typical savings may vary according to roof, shading, and other home properties.

The Federal ITC is a 30 percent tax credit (as of 2022) on residential (under Section 25D) and commercial (under Section 48) properties that is available in states across America (see https://www.seia.org/initiatives/solar-investment-tax-credit-itc). The average cost to install equates to about 10% of system costs and can vary by state, project scope, and installation company. The consumer can absorb this credit directly, by financing or purchasing a system. In cases where the consumer does not have enough tax liability to claim this credit outright, some solar installers can absorb this credit on their behalf and pass the savings along to the consumer in the form of a lease, PPA, etc. Offers and promotions will vary by installer and by state and are subject to change at any time.

A typical or average size of a solar system is about 5kW (about 15-25 panels) and typically costs around $30,000. This amount can vary tremendously by state and the project scope. A consumer's eligibility to get paid to install solar will also depend on rebates and incentives available in their state, their utility company, and tax liability. All payments are subject to terms, eligibility, and availability and can change over time.
