Residential Solar
If you are sick of paying your homes energy bill residential solar is right for you!
Federal Tax Credit
The Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed in 2022.
Between 2022 and 2032, individuals are eligible to receive a 30% federal tax credit for the cost of their solar installation through the expanded Residential Clean Energy Credit Program.

Net Metering
1) Solar panels convert energy from sunlight to electricity.
2) An inverter converts the electricity produced by the solar panels from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) so that it can be used in the home.
3) A bidirectional net meter measures the differences between energy used and excess energy produced.
4) Excess energy not used in the home is fed back into the grid.
5) Excess power sent back to the grid generates solar credits that go towards your energy use.
89.6% of Residents Are Satisfied With Their Solar Panels
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), there were approximately 3.3 million households in the United States with solar panels installed as of 2022.
But what could be driving this high level of satisfaction? One potential factor could be the cost savings associated with solar panel installations. While the initial costs of purchasing and installing the best solar panels can range between $10,000 to $18,000 depending on the size and complexity of the system, many homeowners find that the long-term financial benefits outweigh the initial investment.
Moreover, the decreasing cost of solar panels have made them increasingly affordable. Data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory shows that the cost of solar panel installation has dropped by more than 70% over the last decade. This decrease in cost has undoubtedly contributed to the rising homeowner satisfaction rate.
This near-90% satisfaction rate among solar panel owners provides a compelling narrative for those contemplating switching to renewable energy.
