"I'm so proud of my solar system”
Contact UsJohn Lehmann’s Predictable, Low-cost Energy Future
Just outside of Fort White, Florida, John Lehman decided to take control of his electric bill. The move modernized his home, added concrete property value, and brought years of monthly savings on his electric bill. John, a homeowner in Fort White, installed a 6.4 kW solar energy array. He aimed to liberate himself from the constant escalation of utility bills and secure an energy-efficient future. In doing so, he joined the ranks of those leading the solar revolution, who are determined to take charge of their electricity costs now and for the next generation.
In our video interview with John this month, he quickly points out that the motivation to go solar was in plain sight. Recognizing the untapped potential of solar panels, he sought to reduce his dependence on the utility grid and unlock immediate benefits for his present life. And as he reflected on the future, John envisioned leaving behind a green-energy legacy for the next generation to celebrate.
Importance of Understanding the Financial Benefits of Going Solar
Before installing the rooftop solar system, John’s average monthly kilowatt-hour usage was 1,264 kWh from his utility. However, this figure has dropped to just 295 kWh from the utility with the solar array. Similarly, John’s monthly electric costs from the utility dropped from an average of $167 to just $75. Astonishingly, John is experiencing these savings even as he touts about using far more power today than in the past – because he added additional air-conditioned space for his motorhome after installing solar. Therefore, his system offsets around 75% of the kWh energy usage, translating to 45% cash savings.
Ultimately, John anticipates his solar electrical system will provide definite savings today and ensure a consistent and predictable energy source for more than the rest of his life. And he feels he will someday leave a valuable gift to the next generation to inherit.
It is essential also to emphasize that the lower amount of kWh (kilowatt hours) used in the above discussion represents just one of the financial ROI benefits of a utility offset concept. Learn more about cash purchases and other finance alternatives for residential solar energy systems.

Solar Arrays Build Home Equity and Energy Independence
In pursuing renewable energy solutions like solar arrays and solar battery backup systems, homeowners often encounter a range of financial options and incentives, including green loans and various funding programs. These financial avenues can be instrumental in making choices more unrestricted for homeowners wishing to purchase solar arrays.

However, there’s another path that many homeowners, like John, choose to take—paying cash. But what’s the rationale behind this decision? John offers a compelling answer. The instant equity it brings to his home. By investing in rooftop solar, John saw an immediate increase in the overall value of his property. Moreover, he knew this choice would yield ongoing monthly savings, accumulating a substantial sum over the next 25+ years. In essence, he reduced his energy bills and bolstered his energy independence.
John’s story highlights the significant impact of investing cash in solar panels. It’s a decision that leads to considerable energy bill reductions and enhances the overall worth of one’s property. Beyond the financial gains, there’s a profound sense of increased energy independence and money saved.
Looking forward, John is contemplating expanding his solar setup by adding a solar battery system. The concept of capturing unused solar energy and storing it in batteries resonates with him. This step promises to amplify his energy independence further while adding substantial financial value to his overarching dream. John recognizes that solar energy PV systems paired with backup batteries create a self-sustaining powerhouse, delivering heightened security and reliability—a peace of mind that he appreciates.
Accurate Solar Energy Projections
The thorough solar energy output projections the PPM Solar consultant presented before the sale were central to John’s contentment with his solar array investment. These projections played a pivotal role in guiding John seamlessly through acquiring and installing his solar photovoltaic (PV) system. As he looks back on his journey, John expresses sheer delight in seeing his solar panels meet and exceed the utility grid power reduction levels initially forecasted by his consultant. It reaffirms his belief that choosing PPM was the right decision.
