🔍 Why This Matters
Homeowners don’t just want panels — they want savings. This post breaks down the math in plain terms, helping readers understand their potential ROI. With ControlRev, you can turn this into a lead magnet with calculators, quote forms, and automated follow-ups.
📊 Key Factors That Impact Solar Savings
1. Current Electricity Bill
- The higher your bill, the more you save.
- Solar offsets your monthly usage — sometimes entirely.
2. System Size
- More panels = more power.
- Installers tailor systems to your roof and energy needs.
3. Local Electricity Rates
- States with high rates (like California or New York) see faster payback.
- ControlRev tracks these rates for accurate quoting.
4. Incentives
- Federal tax credit: 30% off system cost
- State/local rebates vary — some cover thousands
- Net metering lets you earn credits for excess power
🧮 Sample Scenario
