BarrierEnergy’s New Partnership:

BarrierEnergy has teamed up with a highly-rated solar installer, Titan Solar Power, to bring you affordable installations! We tailor our proposals to fit your exact energy consumption needs. You will see in real-time, exactly where your panels will go and how much energy they are guaranteed to produce. Titan’s top-of-the-line panels are all black and stylishly flush with the roof.  Previously, we worked in the construction industry for nearly 15 years as energy efficiency inspectors. Now, solar is a requirement in the 2022 building code cycle. We’ll help you stay ahead of these mandates because we know exactly what your requirements are. So, come to us for an economical solar installation in California, Maryland, Arizona, and more! 

About our Panels:

Firstly, rest assured that you have complete control over the design of the system. You can choose where the system is placed and how it’s oriented. If you prefer, you can even choose ground mounted. Our software automatically factors in roof pitch, seasons, weather patterns, and shade obstructions. 

Titan’s 25-year warranty protects the entire system from defects or production malfunctions and even covers roof leaks that were caused by mounting. Each panel is connected through a power optimizer or micro-inverter so that your whole system will not go out because of one panel. Still, these panels are designed to withstand 140 mph hail and 160 mph wind, plus they are designed to last a lifetime. 

You can observe the production of your panels in real-time through an app on your phone. We will be alerted on our end right away if any part of the system isn’t producing what it should be. Plus, we offer competitive pricing that will wipe out the competition and save you thousands. With our financing options, you will pay $0 upfront, and your payments won’t begin until the third month after signing. The loan approval begins with a simple soft-credit check that doesn’t impact your score.

Reduce, Then Produce:

When it comes to solar, our motto is “first reduce, then produce!” Firstly, we will provide you with efficiency upgrade recommendations. Why? Our primary goal is to minimize your energy consumption needs. See, by minimizing the number of panels you will need, we can maximize your savings. Then, you can produce no more than what you truly need. Typically, California’s homeowners are already the perfect candidates for solar. That’s due to the fact that Energy Efficient Building Codes have been working their magic to make all new construction and alterations as efficient as possible. This is where all the codes have been leading to. Truly, it’s an ingenious progression.

Another great benefit to choosing us for your solar panel installation is that you can include other upgrades in the solar loan. That’s right, you can include expenses such as windows, doors, roofs, batteries, and more! You are allowed to do this so long as the other items do not exceed 45% of the total loan amount. What are the benefits of this type of financing? As we mentioned before, these are some of the best loan terms available. Also, you can apply a 30% solar tax credit by adding these in as ‘efficiency upgrades.’ How would you like to get some money back for those new windows you’re purchasing? Alas, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. In the following section, we’ll go over the benefits of going solar.

What is the Real Cost of Solar Panel Installation?:

Incentives:

Right now, there are some great incentives you can take advantage of. For starters, the Federal Solar Tax Credit boasts a 30% rebate on your taxes! How often do you see a sale knocking off nearly one-third of the price? Not often enough. Through our solar lender, you can even use the tax credit to re-amortize your loan. In other words, if you put your rebate towards your loan, you can keep your monthly payment lower. 

The other opportunity available to California, and Maryland residents is net metering. Most utilities offer this program to incentivize solar owners who overproduce energy. Here’s how it works. Say in some of your peak months, your panels produce way more energy than you use. Your utility company will actually pay you back via a credit on your bill that rolls over every month. Then, you can still see a $0 energy bill even in months you’re not producing as much. Any excess credits at the end of the net metering year will be compensated to you directly. Of course, there are limitations to how high your solar offset can go. We will check with your utility company about their specific policies. 

Investment Income:

Solar panels are a safe investment for people who want to grow their income. When you think about it, most homeowners are giving away their money to utility companies to rent them energy at a high rate. Doesn’t it make more sense to put that money towards an asset that could last a lifetime? This is the same reason most people would rather buy their own property rather than rent it. Plus, you can rest assured that your asset is secured by a 25-year warranty that covers both the panels and the inverters.

You can pay for solar in one of two ways: through a lump sum or a loan agreement. With a lump-sum payment, solar panels pay for themselves within about five to fifteen years. Afterward, it’s all profit. The second option, using a loan, is the most common because it requires no money down. Usually, the monthly savings are equivalent to or even outweigh the loan payment. After your loan is done in 20 years, these panels could last you another 20 years. Either way, solar pays for itself and contributes to income. It’s a low-risk, high-reward investment. Even if a natural disaster strikes, there is home insurance to cover you. 

Avoid Rising Energy Costs:

Your other source of savings comes from locking in your energy rate for the lifetime of your panels. Every year, energy costs have been steadily rising along with the price of fossil fuels, increasing natural disasters, and inflation. National average utility rates have nearly doubled between the 2000s and 2020s! Opposingly, solar costs are actually trending downwards. What if you could lock in your rates for the next 25 years? Forget for a moment, that you’re already saving money on your utility bills. The savings you’ll experience by preventing your utility rates from rising is profound in itself. 

Adds Value to your Home:

Believe it or not, homes with solar installed have a higher value and appraise for more. Why? One reason is that people recognize the value of lower utility bills. The other reason is that efficient homes are more durable and of higher quality, which translates to instant equity. Our proposal calculates the average value added to your home based on trusted sources that consider statistics that are specific to your area.
