The same survey base reported average utility bill savings of $69 per month, demonstrating that solar panels can effectively pay for themselves—if you are in the home long enough. “Solar provides the most value to homeowners with high and consistent electricity usage,” says Greg Field, owner of PGT Home Energy Solutions.
You can make money with solar panels by being part of the supply chain as the energy seller, solar installer and support, or recycler. The key is to pick the right area to enter, as you will need some expertise first. The global solar energy market is worth $273 billion in 2022. It is going to reach over $373 billion in 2029.

Additionally, the market for solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) offers an average annual income of $300 to $1,000 per kW of solar capacity.

With this billing strategy, solar clients receive credits against their electricity usage, which lowers their monthly expenses.
