What does a $20,000/month electric bill become over 10 years?
At today’s rate:
$20,000/month
$240,000/year
$2.4 MILLION over 10 years.
And that assumes electricity prices never increase.
For many businesses, the electric bill is treated as just another monthly operating expense. But when you zoom out and look at what you're actually spending over 10, 20, or even 25 years, the numbers can be staggering.
That’s where the commercial solar conversation changes.
Instead of simply asking, “How much does solar cost?” businesses should also be asking:
“How much will we spend on electricity if we do nothing?”
Solar isn’t just about saving money this month. It’s about reducing long-term exposure to an expense you’re going to have either way.
Sometimes you have to look at the big picture to see the real opportunity.
