Meet your shortcut to tailored, solar savings…
Over the past 25 years, electricity rates in San Luis Obispo County have surged by over 300%, placing a significant financial burden on homeowners. As of 2025, the average residential electricity rate in the county stands at 43¢ per kilowatt-hour, which is over 100% higher than the national average of 20¢ per kilowatt-hour.
At Original Energy Co., we’ve been at the forefront of helping San Luis Obispo County residents mitigate these escalating costs through solar panel installations. By harnessing the abundant sunshine of the Central Coast, our clients have significantly reduced their reliance on traditional grid electricity. For instance, installing a 6.4 kW solar panel system can offset 100% of an average household’s annual electricity consumption of 10,260 kWh. EnergySage
The benefits of transitioning to solar are substantial. Homeowners can expect to break even on their solar investment in just over five years. Over a 25-year period, this translates to savings of approximately $96,128 on electric bills. EnergySage
