In California, the average payback time for solar panels is about 9 years. It takes this long for the utility bill savings you enjoy a month after month to finally exceed the upfront cost of your solar PV installation.
After those 9 years are up and you’ve recouped all expenses, you enjoy decades and decades of free electricity. No more bills, payments, or expenses (except for periodic cleaning – which isn’t really that necessary).
But at Sunline Energy, we consistently help our customers enjoy solar payback periods of 4 to 6 years.
How do we do that exactly? Why do OUR customers reach the breakeven point years ahead of everyone else?
Let’s review.
Why Is Our Average Payback Time for Solar Panels So Short?
There is no single factor that explains our faster than average solar payback periods. It’s actually a combination of many different things.
1. We Use High Quality Solar PV Components
For starters, we only use the best solar parts in the business.
Some of these components cost more up front (because of the quality). But since they deliver more energy per square meter, they offer much higher savings. This helps to speed up the payback time of your solar installation.

2. We Provide Expert Solar Installation Services
Anyone can install solar panels. In fact, you can do it yourself over a free weekend or 2 (although there are many reasons why you shouldn’t).
However, when you contract our services, you benefit from an expert team of NABCEP-certified engineers with unparalleled experience in the field.
In addition, we offer industry-leading performance guarantees. If your system doesn’t deliver the power that we promise it will (during your free consultation), we’ll fix the problem or cover your losses.
3. We Perform an Energy Audit
When you request a free solar inspection from us, we’ll perform a thorough energy audit of your property and recommend any number of energy efficiency tips to help you lower your overall electricity consumption.
The less power you consume, the fewer panels you’ll need. This helps to lower upfront installation costs, thus, shortening your overall solar payback time.
4. We Help You Apply for All Incentives
San Diego has an impressive range of solar incentives to help make the upfront and long-term cost of your installation much lower.
Again, by lowering the cost of your solar PV system, we’re able to shorten the average payback period.
