“How could I install Solar in Fresno and not call Strive Solar first?”

How much is a solar system for the average 2000 sq ft house in Fresno California?

The average cost of a solar panel system in the US is between $2.51 and $3.31 per watt before incentives. In Fresno specifically, you should be prepared to invest between $15,000 and $25,000 for a typical solar panel system. The size of your home, local electricity costs, and financing options will of course determine your final up-front and ongoing costs.

It’s important to chat with us and review the different financial options available in Fresno that can be leveraged for your solar installation, including outright purchasing, loans, leasing, or power purchase agreements. In the US, there may also be federal, state, and local incentives that can help reduce the cost of the panels. Strive Solar provides transparent pricing, breaking down all associated costs, and their financial advisors are available to help you navigate financing options and government incentives.

How Much Money Can You Save With Solar Panels?

If your system is robust enough to entirely cover your energy usage, you could see savings of up to $1,500 a year.  The average household in the U.S. spends about $125 a month on an energy bill and Fresno and Fresno county are actually pretty similar to this. Given that solar panels usually last for 25 to 30 years before losing efficiency, you could easily save $25,500 to $33,000 on electricity during the life of your system.

Are Solar Panels Worth It?

Yes, solar panels are worth it! With Strive Solar, the up-front cost of solar panel installation doesn’t have to be a deterrent, because we offer no upfront cost as well as free financing and you can start leveraging solar power without a significant initial investment.

The payback period is faster than you think and you start saving on your electric bill from day one. In fact, many of our customers have reduced their energy bills to virtually zero!

How long until solar pays for itself?

Solar can increase your property value, and can even provide a reliable return on investment (ROI). The average solar panel system in the US pays for itself in just seven to eight years, and with solar panels lasting 25-30 years, this means you’ll enjoy free electricity for many years after your system has paid for itself.

There’s never been a better time to go solar. Call us today at (305) 543-1360 to discuss how you can make the switch and start reaping the benefits.

Solar panel types we install in Fresno

We have an array of choices depending on your specific project in Fresno. We will be happy to guide you through our recommendations. The types of solar panels we install include (but are not limited to):

  • Monocrystalline Solar Panels, are highly efficient due to their single silicon crystal structure, but are more costly and ideal for residential setups.
  • Polycrystalline Solar Panels, crafted from multiple silicon crystals, are more affordable but slightly less efficient. Still excellent use in cities like Fresno which get a lot of sun and high UV index through more than 6 months out of the year.
  • For flexible applications, we suggest our Thin-film Solar Panels, which are lightweight and versatile, though they offer less efficiency than their crystalline counterparts.
  • We also provide Bifacial Solar Panels, which capture sunlight from both sides, boosting efficiency for both residential and commercial use.
  • Lastly, for large-scale solar power plants, we propose our Concentrated Solar Panels, which use lenses or mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, optimizing efficiency.

How Our Residential Solar Installation Process Works

At Strive Solar, our professional solar installers are the best of the best. They begin by driving out physically and conducting an exhaustive survey of your Fresno, California property to evaluate its potential for solar panel installation. Our assessment encompasses various elements like the orientation and condition of your roof, the extent of peak sunlight hours your property receives, and potential obstructions such as trees or neighboring buildings. Lots of phone calls are made and both government and private GIS databases and almanac-type sources are considered.  Most importantly we evaluate YOUR unique Fresno home, it’s features and its capacity for solar energy generation.

Selecting an optimal solar company in Fresno, California involves careful research into the company’s reputation, customer reviews, and longevity in the business, as these factors indicate reliability and expertise.
