One of the biggest myths in solar?
That you’ll never see another electric bill.
Here’s what most companies don’t tell you:
You can go solar and still pay $100+ a month to your utility… if your system isn’t sized right, designed right, or installed with your real energy use in mind.
At Eden, we believe in real offset — not vague promises. That means building systems that are actually designed to wipe out your utility bill, not just reduce it a little.
What’s “Real Offset” and Why Should You Care?
Real offset means:
Your solar system is designed to match your real, day-to-day energy habits
It accounts for seasonal changes, high-usage appliances, and future add-ons (like EV chargers)
Your expected bill post-solar is clear and predictable, not a surprise every month
Most companies use outdated modeling tools or skip the deeper analysis just to close the deal fast. Eden doesn’t play that game.
How Eden Keeps Your Bills Predictable
1. Usage-Based Design
We don’t just ask for your roof square footage. We look at your actual energy history, and forecast how your usage may change over time — especially if you plan to electrify more of your home.
2. Utility Bill Simulations
Before you sign, we’ll walk you through real scenarios of what your electric bill will look like month to month — including utility fees, net metering, and worst-case weather patterns.
3. Offset Guarantee (Optional with Select Plans)
We offer plans that guarantee a certain % offset. If your system underperforms due to design error, Eden covers the difference.
4. Local Utility Expertise
Florida utilities aren’t all the same. We build offset plans that reflect your specific utility provider, their billing structure, and what it takes to zero out your bill.
Bottom Line: No More Bill Shock
Going solar shouldn’t feel like rolling the dice. With Eden, you’ll know exactly what to expect — and you’ll actually see the savings you were promised.
Because real offset isn’t about selling panels.
It’s about building systems that deliver real results.
