Long-Term Benefits
Increase the Value of Your Home
When you install solar panels, you will increase the market value of your home by at least the cost of the system. Per the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, every $1 of savings generated will add $20 to your home’s market value when you decide to sell. Not only will you realize an increase in the value of your home, your investment will help sell your home 20% faster than residences without solar panels.
Continuous Value
Receive a 30% Tax Credit
The solar investment tax credit (ITC) is an incentive put in place by the federal government in an effort to help reduce the cost of installing residential or commercial solar energy systems. This tax credit works by enabling businesses and homeowners to deduct a percentage of the cost from their federal tax liability, or from their alternative minimum tax amount.
One additional perk is that there is no maximum dollar amount for your deduction, meaning that regardless of the size and cost of the solar energy system, 30% of the total cost can be deducted from your federal income taxes so long as the system is installed before the end of 2022. Eligible expenses include the cost of the panels, balance-of-system components (items like mounting equipment, wiring, inverters, etc.), contractor costs, permit and inspection fees, energy storage devices, and sales tax that was paid on any of the above costs.

Protect Your Home from Outages
Off-grid PV solar systems provide a dual purpose. When the utility grid is up and in working order, the system offsets your usage, saving you money and reducing or eliminating your energy bill. When the grid goes down during a storm, North Carolina hurricane, or natural disaster, your system’s battery kicks in to provide reliable power for you and your family.
