Home Solar panels
Own Your Power. Savings, incentives, energy security, and more — There are lots of reasons to go solar in North Carolina.
Changes are coming to solar in North Carolina!
Duke Energy customers need to take action and get their solar project started by October 1st to lock in existing net metering rates before they change.
Why Install Solar Panels?
By generating your own home solar power you’ll save money every month on your energy bill. Plus, as the cost to generate electricity increases, you’ll be protected from rising utility energy prices.
Your solar system’s impact goes far beyond your home. Generating clean, renewable energy reduces pollution, helps fight climate change, and lowers America’s dependence on fossil fuel imports.
Take advantage of the 30% Federal Solar Tax credit on solar and/or battery storage. The tax credit allows you to take money you would pay to Uncle Sam and invest it back into your home. It’s a win-win!
Adding solar to your home is one of the few home improvements that provide a greater than 100% return on your investment.
How Solar Energy Works
- Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
- An inverter converts the DC energy from your solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity for your home.
- Solar energy powers your home. Any excess energy generated is sent to the grid and recorded as a credit on your monthly utility bill.
- Your solar panels save you money everyday for 30+ years while generating clean, renewable energy for your home and family
