Frequently Asked Questions

The answer: it depends, but we're experts in getting you a complete and comprehensive quote using your exact home size and energy usage.

Regardless of your exact savings, switching to solar can significantly reduce your energy costs, often cutting your electricity bills by 50% or more. Additionally, incentives like the 30% federal tax credit and depreciation benefits can further increase your savings. Over time, solar panels typically pay for themselves, and with net metering, excess energy can be credited back to your utility bill.

When you purchase solar panels through us, we ensure you take full advantage of all available tax incentives and deductions. Through our partnership with Solar ITC, we provide a comprehensive assessment with a solar tax expert to identify all eligible incentives, often uncovering thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in savings that homeowners might miss on their own.Key incentives include:

• 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) – This directly reduces your tax liability by 30% of your system’s cost. For example, on a $45,000 system, this results in a $13,500 credit.

• Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Depreciation – If you qualify for net metering or SRECs, you may be able to deduct 85% of your system cost for depreciation purposes.

• Interest and Financing Deduction – If you finance your system, the interest on your loan may be 100% tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income.

• State Tax Benefits – Claiming these federal incentives lowers your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which can reduce your state tax liability, leading to additional tax savings depending on your state’s tax laws.

On average, many homeowners and businesses recover over 75% of their system costs through tax credits, deductions, and financing incentives.

We help you maximize all available federal, state, and local incentives, including:

✅ Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) – 30% of system cost

• The biggest incentive available, reducing your tax liability by 30% of your system’s cost.

• Any unused credit can roll over to the next tax year if it exceeds your tax owed.

✅ MACRS Depreciation for Net Metered Systems

• If you have net metering or sell Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), you may qualify for MACRS depreciation, allowing you to deduct up to 85% of your system’s cost over time.

✅ Interest Deduction for Financed Systems

• If you finance your system, the interest on your loan may be tax-deductible.

• Example: A $45,000 system at 6.99% interest could result in $3,150 per year in deductible interest payments.

✅ State and Local Tax Benefits

• State Tax Deductions: Lowering your AGI by claiming federal incentives can reduce your state tax liability, leading to additional savings.

• State Rebates and Grants: Some states offer cash rebates or extra tax credits.

✅ Net Metering – Sell Excess Power Back to the Grid

• Many states allow you to earn credits or cash payments for extra energy your solar system generates.

• This further reduces your monthly electricity bills and increases savings.

✅ USDA REAP Grants (for commercial and rural properties)

• Businesses and farms in rural areas may qualify for grants covering up to 50% of installation costs through the USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).Exclusive Benefit:
