Solar ROI Blueprint: How to Calculate Savings You Can Trust (2025–2030 Edition)

Most solar guides tell you why solar is good.
This blueprint shows you how to calculate whether solar is actually worth it for your home — using real utility rates, verified incentives, and conservative assumptions.

Built for homeowners who want a confident yes or a confident no — before talking to installers.

The Solar ROI Blueprint is a professional, data-backed guide designed for U.S. homeowners who want clarity before committing thousands of dollars to solar.

No hype.
No sales pressure.
No confusing math.

Instead, you’ll learn how to:

• Calculate true solar return on investment (ROI)
• Understand how rising utility rates impact long-term savings
• Compare ownership options (cash, loan, lease, PPA) objectively
• Avoid common solar sales traps and misleading projections
• Decide if solar makes sense now, later, or not at all

This guide is built using verified data from:

• NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)
• U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
• IRS (Residential Clean Energy Credit guidance)
• DSIRE (Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency)

If you want a calm, informed, financially grounded decision, this blueprint walks you through it step by step.
