Homeowners who install solar can look forward to a 30% tax credit on their 2022 taxes. This means that someone who installs, say, a $20,000 home solar energy system could claim a $6,000 tax credit when filing taxes in 2023. HOW ARE TAX CREDITS PAID? This doesn’t mean homeowners get a check for $6,000, though. Instead, the tax credit works to reduce the amount of tax owed in the year of installation and subsequent years if the full amount isn’t used at once. So, let’s imagine a homeowner installing a $20k solar array in late 2022. When filing their taxes for the year, they owe $10,000 in total. By claiming the ITC of $6,000 (30% of $20k), this homeowner would only owe $4,000 in taxes for 2022. As another example, if a homeowner installed a $12,000 solar array in early 2022, they could claim a tax credit of $3,600. If they only owed $2,000 in tax for 2022, this homeowner could carry over the remaining credit of $1,600 to a subsequent year.

Once your County Inspector(s) approves the system, your utility company has 30 calendar days to switch your electric meter with its solar replacement, the bi-directional meter. We always advocate on your behalf and do our best to ensure constant communication with the utility company. However, please be aware that similar to county departments, we have no way to tangibly impact the time frame. Please work with us as teammates to check in with your utility company to ensure completion as quickly as possible.

The “25 Year Solar Performance Warranty” and the “20 Year Extended Warranty” are both through the product manufacturers. The “10 Year Workmanship Warranty on the Solar System” and the “5 Year Roof Warranty” where the panels are installed are serviced through Blue Energy Electric.

Going off the Grid may be an option for some who choose battery backup systems like the Enphase Storage, however most of our Solar customers choose to stay on the grid. Depending on the utility company (co-operatives tend to be more expensive), you could be charged $9-30 a month for the metering fee required to keep you connected to the grid.

The biggest benefit, besides being energy independent, would be that by owning your own solar you are able to levelize your cost of power, while your neighbors will be paying rate increases year by year.

Yes, you can either buy the battery storage system with your solar or add it to a preexisting solar system.. Either way you will receive the tax credit.

A solar PV system will work in a power outage if you have battery storage as well. The battery storage system allows your solar to continue to create power during a power outage to feed your home and continue to charge your batteries.

While most customers choose to go with a smaller battery storage system to run the Essential Loads in their home, It is possible to run the entire house with a larger battery storage system.

After working together to submit all the required permits for your county, a team member will contact you to set up an installation date and to give you a rundown of what to expect. A team member will contact you the day before the installation date to confirm. Upon the completion of the installation, a team member will follow up once more to speak with you about the interconnection procedures, signing the Certificate of Completion (COC), and to answer any additional questions you may have.

Your county of residence requires permit applications, interconnection agreements, a Notice of Commencement, as well as some additional documents depending on where you live. Some of these require your notarization, we ask that you work with us as teammates to ensure a smooth and quick process through your immediate attention with these documents and responsiveness with our communications.

Although the cost may initially seem high, it’s an investment that will continue to help your bottom line. Depending on the size of your system, it can pay for itself in a couple of years while you benefit from lower or zero electric bills. Businesses of all sizes are finally recognizing that a solar electric energy system is a key strategic decision that guarantees a solid financial return for years to come. It also helps to attract business as many customers are attracted to businesses that are dedicated to sustainability efforts. Just imagine, in three years, the CO2 offset of one 105KW system is equal to 11,004 trees and 49,522 gallons of gas saved.
