The prevailing trend in the residential rooftop business is to overcharge for solar systems and then try to convince customers that they should be happy with a 9-year payback. Systems are deliberately undersized to minimize “sticker shock” leaving customers vulnerable to utility power consumption charges as the marginally designed solar system begins to degrade over time or as power consumption increases.

Sundam Energy’s custom-designed, long-term performance optimized rooftop solar generation systems are developed using disruptive cost structures that provide customers with a less than three-year payback on net investment.

For home-owners, a residential rooftop system increases the value of the home, so it is like investing in an annuity that provides a >30% annual return on investment for 20 years with preservation of the principal amount invested. Sundam Energy encourages customers to oversize their residential solar systems to the maximum permissible value, maximizing the tax and any available rebate benefits. An undersized system will eventually degrade leaving customer vulnerable to future predatory pricing by the utilities.
