Solar Energy Creates Benefits Coachella
Coachella is Great City for Home Solar Energy
Coachella Valley best known for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, commonly called Coachella is actually held in Indio California. Coachella is a city in Riverside County, and is commonly referred to as the "City of Eternal Sunshine." Sunshine is incredible for solar energy. Making Coachella one of the best cities for solar energy since homeowners can enjoy a tremendous amount of sunshine each year. Harness the power of the sun to maximize your savings!
Rising Southern California Edison Costs
Homeowners in Coachella receive their electricity from Southern California Edison (SCE). If you have an average-sized house, you can reduce much of your electricity bill by having a small or a medium-sized solar panel which will return its cost before its warranty is half-up, and save you thousands of dollars in the years after.
Having a solar system in Coachella enables you to lessen down your monthly bill to $18.06 minimum. And any kWh over usage can be carried over for the whole year to be balanced at the end of 12 months. Any additional kWh left at the true-up period is paid for at what Southern California Edison calls the "Net Surplus Compensation" rate. Since its inception in 2016, that rate has floated around $.07/kWh. So it requires you to size your system not to exceed your needs by much.

Financial Benefits for Going Solar in Coachella
Saving on your Southern California Utility Bill
Southern California Edison rates haven't been rising as quickly as other utility companies in California like PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric) and SDG&E (San Diego Gas & Electric Company). But the price of electricity even in Coachella continues to steadily rise every year. Therefore, using solar panels that can capture sunlight and can generate its power directly from the sun can help you save you money. With a solar power energy system, you can avoid the frequent price increase associated with fossil fuels.
Your Coachella Home's Property Value will increase
Installing solar panels can increase the value of your property. For most homeowners who go solar, the primary concern going solar is what happens when you are looking to sell your house, and there's a big possibility that you are able to sell your home at a higher sale price. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, property values will increase $20 for every $1 of utility savings per year. With a 5 kWh unit installed on your home in Coachella, you could easily increase the value of your home by at least $20,000.
Environmental Benefits for Coachella When Going Solar
Using solar power instead of typical forms of energy lessens the amount of carbon and other pollutants that are released into the environment — reducing the amount of carbon that it releases in our atmosphere. Solar can convert sunlight into savings. It can reduce the amount of carbon emissions generated into the environment and can have a positive impact on mother nature.
When fossil fuels are burned to generate electricity, they release harmful gases like carbon monoxide. These harmful gases are the leading cause of air pollution and climate change. Fossil fuels are harmful to the environment, but more importantly, they are a finite resource. Due to this, the price of fossil fuels fluctuates dramatically and can double the price in a short period of time.
Homeowners can see significant cost savings by replacing their more expensive electricity bill for a smaller payment. As well as help save the environment with Forme Solar Electric. Imagine if Southern California Edison offered you a 20 year 30% discount on your electric bill, would you take it? Going solar is the best way to save money on your monthly energy bills.

Reducing the Cost of Solar Panel Install Through Incentives
2020 - 26% Federal Tax Credit for Installing Solar Panels
The Federal Solar Tax Credit, officially known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a credit equal to 26% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar panel system. The total amount of the solar tax credit can be calculated with great ease. The amount of the federal tax credit is computed by taking thirty (30) percent of the solar system installation cost. For instance, if your solar energy system costs $25,000 and is installed in 2020, your tax credit would be $25,000 x 26%= $6,500.
Please keep in mind that the federal solar tax credit is nonrefundable and is only possible for the owner of the solar energy system. Therefore, homeowners that have a solar panel system through a Solar Lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) are not eligible for the solar ITC.
