How Much Can You Save Installing Solar?
At AJ’s Electrical, we’ve run a scenario through our software so you can better understand the cost savings that solar power can provide.
This example uses a typical family home with an average monthly power bill of $180. The family have installed a 5kW AJ’s Electrical solar power system, complete with Trina solar panels, and an Alpha solar inverter.
The family benefits from a remarkable 72% reduction in their monthly power bill, decreasing their total energy spend to just $50 per month. The accumulated savings over a span of 20 years amounts to an impressive $23,978.
As the cost of traditional power prices continues to rise, the investment horizon on solar panels could reap an even higher return on investment.Â
Solar Energy Generated Over 12-monthsÂ
Our solar system performance graph shows 105% of solar energy produced from a solar system over a 12-month period.
Solar systems may produce surplus energy to your requirements. Traditional power companies offer buy-back schemes where they purchase additional energy you are not using, resulting in further cost savings.Â

Both services were done by Blair, who I found to be very professional, knowledgeable and quick. I have no hesitation in recommending both Blair and AJ's for a job well-done. Shane Jeffcoat10.

Service has been great, fast and friendly team. Worked around us repainting the roof before the panels went up and had to wait for us to have it completed. Thanks for the great service. Happy to recommend them. Teresa Gaylor5. September, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice people easy to deal with, thorough,do good work.
