You can save a lot of money by choosing a solar power system. You should check to see if there are any incentives offered by the state if you plan to install solar panels. If you are eligible, you might be able to claim both federal or state tax credits.
You can get solar rebates in most states. These rebates are offered by local utilities companies. The rebate amount depends on the location and size of the system. The DSIRE database allows you to check if your local utility offers a sunroof rebate. Ask your local solar installer if they have any state incentives for your area. For the amount of solar power your system produces, you may be eligible for a credit on a utility bill.
Local governments may also offer rebates for solar energy. These rebates are only available in certain areas. They vary by location, but they can add up to a considerable savings. Some areas may even offer a rebate for every watt of installed solar capacity. These rebates might be given to residents. Grants to low-income families may also be available in other states. You can also find a list of local governments on the DSIRE website.
