DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE REALLY PAYING FOR ELECTRICITY?

Most homeowners look at one number on their ComEd bill:

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. 💸

But your electric bill is made up of more than just the electricity your home uses.

There can be:

⚡ Energy / Supply
🏗️ Delivery charges
🧾 Taxes
💵 Fees & other charges

All of those pieces contribute to what electricity is actually costing your household.

And that’s why simply comparing a solar rate to one line on your utility bill doesn’t tell the whole story.

Let’s compare the REAL numbers. 🧮

📸 Send me your latest ComEd bill, and I’ll help you calculate what you’re actually paying per kWh based on your bill and usage.

Then we can compare that with a customized solar + battery option for your home.

Depending on the plan, you may be able to gain:

💰 Lower monthly energy costs
🔋 Battery backup protection
📈 More predictable energy pricing
🛡️ Monitoring, maintenance & covered repairs
🌱 Clean, renewable energy

You’re already buying electricity every month.

Before you decide solar is too expensive, find out what your current electricity is REALLY costing you. 👀

DON’T BUY SOLAR UNTIL YOU ASK THESE 5 QUESTIONS.

Going solar can be a great decision, but the cheapest quote or lowest monthly payment doesn’t always mean the best deal.

Before choosing ANY solar company, make sure you understand exactly what you’re getting.

Here are 5 questions I believe every homeowner should ask:

1️⃣ What will this REALLY cost me over time?
Don’t just look at the first payment. Understand the entire agreement.

2️⃣ What happens when the power goes out? 🔋
Does your system include battery backup? What will it actually power?

3️⃣ What coverage does the system include? 🛡️
Who handles monitoring, maintenance, equipment issues and covered repairs?

4️⃣ How could solar affect my home and its value? 🏡
Understand whether you're purchasing, financing or subscribing and how that may matter later.

5️⃣ What happens if I move or my energy needs change?
Life changes. Your solar plan should account for that possibility.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

A good solar consultant shouldn’t be bothered by them. They should WANT you to understand what you’re signing.

My goal isn’t simply to get another house to go solar.

It’s to help homeowners ASK. COMPARE. UNDERSTAND. THEN DECIDE. 👍

THE $0 QUESTION: WHAT DOES GOING SOLAR COST TODAY?

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear from homeowners is:

“I’d love to go solar, but I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars upfront.”

Here’s the good news...

Qualifying homeowners may have $0 UPFRONT solar options. 🏡☀️

That means you may be able to make the switch without writing a big check on Day 1, while gaining benefits that your traditional electric bill simply doesn’t provide.

Depending on the plan, that can include:

💰 Lower monthly energy costs
🔋 Battery backup for power outages
🛡️ Monitoring, maintenance & covered repairs
📈 More predictable energy pricing
🌱 Clean, renewable energy for your home

Think about it this way:

You’re already paying for electricity every month.

The goal isn’t to add another bill. It’s to see whether we can redirect money you’re already spending on power toward a lower-cost option that gives you MORE.

So what does it cost to find out?

$0.

⚡🔋 POWER OUTAGE: WHAT WOULD YOU MISS FIRST?

When the power goes out, it doesn’t take long to realize just how much of our everyday life depends on electricity.

🥶 Refrigerator keeping your food cold
📶 Wi-Fi & Internet keeping you connected
💡 Lights keeping your home safe
💧 Sump pump helping protect your basement
❄️ Air conditioning keeping your family comfortable
🏡 And maybe most importantly, peace of mind

Now imagine having battery backup ready when the grid goes down.

🔋 THAT’S WHY I LOVE SOLAR + BATTERY.

Solar isn’t only about potentially lowering your electric costs. It can also be about adding another layer of energy security to your home.

When properly designed, a battery system can keep selected home loads powered during an outage, depending on the system size, available stored energy, and your home's setup.

And you don’t have to wait until the next storm to find out what your options are.

📸 Send me your latest ComEd bill, and I’ll show you what a customized solar + battery plan could look like for your home.

☀️ Potential monthly savings
🔋 Battery backup protection
📈 More predictable energy costs
🌱 Clean, renewable energy
🏡 Greater control over your power

When the grid goes down, be ready.

Battery backup duration and capabilities vary based on system configuration, available stored energy, household loads and other conditions.

🏡💰 YOUR HOUSE ALREADY HAS AN ENERGY BUDGET.

Think about the expenses you plan for every month:

🏠 Mortgage
🛡️ Insurance
🛒 Groceries
⚡ Electricity

Most of those expenses are difficult to change.

But what if we could LOWER one of them? 👀

Your home needs electricity every day, and that isn't going away. The question is whether you should automatically keep paying the utility's price for all of it, or see if there's a lower-cost option available for your home.

With the right solar + battery plan, qualifying homeowners may be able to get:

💰 Lower monthly energy costs
🔋 Battery backup for power outages
📈 More predictable energy pricing
🛡️ Long-term system protection
🌱 Clean, renewable energy
💵 $0 upfront options

You don't need to guess whether it makes sense.

📸 Send me your latest ComEd bill.

I'll look at your actual energy usage, calculate what you're currently paying per kWh, and compare it with the solar + battery options available for your home.

Let's run the numbers. YOU decide. 🧮

If we can lower one line in your household budget for power you're going to use anyway, isn't it at least worth looking?

Same power need. Smarter way to pay.

Savings, eligibility, pricing, coverage and battery capabilities vary by home, usage, equipment and plan.

Yesterday, I met with an 89-year-old gentleman in Palatine—and the conversation reminded me exactly why I enjoy what I do.

When I arrived, he invited me into his beautiful four-season room. We sat down at the table, and I asked to see a recent ComEd bill so I could begin designing a solar plan for his home.

He didn’t have the actual bill, but he did have something even more impressive: a freshly printed spreadsheet detailing every section of his ComEd bills from the past 13 months.

As I entered the information, I asked him:

“What is the main reason you’re considering solar? Is it the potential monthly savings and battery protection with no money out of pocket required? Is it the environmental benefit for your children and grandchildren? Or are you concerned about future energy costs and looking for more price control?”

He paused for a moment and then said:

“Jason, I’m 89 years old, and I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be living here. My wife is 88, and we’ve lived in this home for more than 44 years. Someday, either I will sell this house or my children will. This would be considered a starter home for the next family, and whoever buys it will be very fortunate to have the benefits of solar.”

Luckily, I was already sitting down—because that answer nearly knocked me over.

Here was an 89-year-old homeowner thinking beyond himself and recognizing the challenges future homeowners may face. He understands that electricity costs will likely continue rising as demand increases from data centers, new subdivisions, multifamily developments, power-plant closures, and an increasingly strained electrical grid.

He then explained that his roof had been replaced only three weeks earlier. The old roof had been the main reason he hadn’t moved forward with solar sooner.

Now that the new roof was complete, he felt it was finally time.

We also had an honest conversation about what solar could mean when the home is eventually sold. Yes, solar may not appeal to every buyer—but it may make the home more attractive to buyers who value lower energy costs, battery-backup protection, and greater reliability.

That could include someone who works from home, a family with medical equipment that depends on electricity, or simply a homeowner who wants peace of mind knowing their refrigerator, freezer, internet, sump pump and essential devices can remain powered during an outage.

This is why I love what I do.

I have the opportunity to meet homeowners of every age and background throughout Illinois. Everyone has a different perspective on solar—but this gentleman reminded me that sometimes the decision isn’t only about what benefits us today.

Sometimes it’s also about what we leave behind for the next family. ☀️🔋🏡
