Energy costs continue to rise, leaving many homeowners facing unpredictable monthly bills, with limited control over long-term expenses. That’s where energy independence comes in. By choosing solar and energy storage with AES, homeowners can take greater control of how their energy is produced, stored, and used.

A Smarter Way to Take Control of Rising Energy Costs
Say Yes to Energy Independence: A Smarter Way to Take Control of Rising Energy Costs
The Cost of Living on the Grid
For homeowners who rely entirely on traditional utility companies, rising energy rates have become an ongoing concern. In California’s North State, residential electricity prices have climbed dramatically over the past decade, with average rates increasing nearly 96 % between 2014 and 2024 according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
This means homeowners across the region are paying far more for electricity than they were just ten years ago. These increases often happen with little warning, making it difficult for homeowners to plan ahead or manage household budgets effectively. As energy demand continues to grow, many homeowners are realizing that staying fully dependent on the grid can mean higher costs, less predictability, and fewer options when it comes to managing their energy use.
The Real Benefits of Saying "Yes" to AES
Protection Against Rising Energy Costs
One of the biggest advantages of going solar is reducing exposure to rising utility rates. By generating your own energy, you rely less on electricity from the grid and gain more stability in your monthly energy expenses.
Backup Power When You Need It Most
Power outages are becoming more frequent due to severe weather and increased strain on the grid. When solar is paired with battery storage, homeowners can keep essential systems running during outages. This added reliability provides peace of mind and helps protect your home when the grid goes down.
Lower Monthly Energy Bills
Solar helps offset the electricity you would normally purchase from a utility company, which can lead to noticeable reductions in monthly energy bills. When paired with battery storage, homeowners can use stored energy during peak rate periods, increasing savings and efficiency even further.
Long-Term Value
Solar energy systems are designed to last for decades, providing long-term financial and energy benefits. Beyond monthly savings, solar represents an investment in your home’s value, energy security, and future sustainability.
