Photovoltaic Systems Overview

Environmental Benefits of a PV System

PV systems help to reduce atmospheric pollution and global warming by generating clean energy that replaces energy created through the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas.  A typical medium-sized 4 kW residential PV system in California will prevent 8,000 lbs of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere every year, or 200,000 lbs over its 25 year useful life.  This is equivalent to planting about 1,000 trees.  It will also reduce sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen in the atmosphere by 850 pounds over its useful life. 

 

Financial Return of a PV System 

In addition to being good for the environment, photovoltaic systems can be a great investment.  This is because they reduce your electric bill using clean, free power from the sun.  Current government rebates and tax credits can pay for 40-50% of your total installed system cost.  The result of all those rebates, tax credits, and monthly electric bill savings is that an average-sized residential system can generate 25% to 75% per year Return on Investment (ROI) on a taxable equivalent basis – better than the stock market and almost any other investment out there! 

You can actually sell electricity to your utility at approximately three times what you pay for it!  Cobalt Power can show you how.

We will analyze your energy usage and system needs, and will provide you with a free, customized spreadsheet that will show you exactly what ROI your Cobalt Power Systems PV system will generate. 

And here’s more good news:  Many homeowners pay for their PV system with a Home Equity Line of Credit.  In this case, the money saved on your monthly electric bill can more than pay for the loan!  Positive cash flow from day 1!  Cobalt Power has relationships with two leading home equity lenders, who are standing by and ready to set up a no-hassle home equity loan for you.
