You can save a lot of money by choosing a solar power system. If you are planning to install solar panels, you will want to find out whether there are any state incentives available for you. If you qualify, you may be able to take advantage of both state and federal tax credits.
In most states, solar rebates are available through local utility companies. They can be used as a way to offset the cost for a solar panel. The amount of the rebate will vary, depending on the region of the state and the size of the system. Use the DSIRE database to find out if your local utility offers a subsidy for solar. It is always a good idea for a local solar installer to inquire about state incentives in your area. If they are, you'll be able to get a credit in your utility bill for any solar power produced by your system.
Local governments offer solar rebates that are specific to certain areas. Although they vary by area, they can result in significant savings. For every watt installed solar capacity, some regions may offer rebates. These rebates might be given to residents. Grants to low-income families may also be available in other states. On the DSIRE Website, you will also find a list with all local governments.
