Your Solar Savings, Samantha Hess

I am sending over a quick recap of our conversation and the specific terms we discussed for your solar project. At EMPWR SOLAR, our goal is to make this process as transparent and “easy” as possible, a sentiment echoed by many of your neighbors in our 4.9 star Google Reviews.

What you pay every month, for 25 years

Orange is Appalachian Power, climbing 7.5% a year. Green is your solar payment, locked to 2.99% a year. The gap between them is money you keep.

Where this lands

Your solar payment is lower than your power bill from month one, and the distance only widens.

The fine print

What this compares. Your current average power bill of $195 a month against your solar payment of $150.00 a month, over 25 years. Utility escalated at 7.5% per year, solar at 2.99% per year.
Still connected to the grid. You are still connected to the utility grid and would be expected to pay a small fixed monthly rate, considered the standard connection fee.
Where the numbers come from. System specs, production, offset, the $150.00 monthly payment and the 2.99% solar escalator were all read from your EMPWR proposal on 2026-07-29. The 7.5% utility escalation is Rundle Solar's standard planning assumption, not a figure from the proposal.
Appalachian Power rates are moving. Appalachian Power has a $61.4 million base rate increase pending before the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which the company estimates at about $9.10 a month for a residential customer, plus a separate transmission adjustment of about $1.58 a month. Neither is approved yet, and past increases do not guarantee future ones.
This is an estimate, not a contract. Production, rates and savings are projections. Nothing here is a guarantee.
