Follow the steps below to determine the best solar solution for your home, and start your journey towards a greener, more cost-effective future.
Step 1: Determine Your Primary Goal for Going Solar
What System Suits You
Grid-Tie Solar: Select this option if you will have access to the utility grid and your main goal is to save money on your electric bill.
Grid-Tie Solar + Energy Storage: Choose this if you will have access to the utility grid but want backup power during potential outages.
Off-Grid Solar: Opt for this if you will not have access to the utility grid and plan to live in a location where the grid is not accessible.

Determine Your Power Requirements
Evaluate Your Planned Energy Consumption: Consider the size of your home, the number of occupants, and the types of appliances and systems you plan to use (e.g., HVAC, water heating, kitchen appliances).
Use Energy Usage Examples: Refer to common energy usage patterns fo homes similar to yours in size and location. You can provide typical usage examples or an energy calculator to help customers estimate.
Plan for Future Expansion: Account for any potential increases in energy use, such as installing electric vehicle chargers or adding more appliances over time.
Step 3: Choose Your Solar Panel Mounting Option
Mounting Options
Roof Mounting: Ideal for homes with sufficient, unobstructed roof space. This is a common choice for saving ground space and enhancing the home’s appearance.
Ground Mounting: Suitable if the roof is not optimal for solar panels due to shading, orientation, or structural concerns. Ground-mounted systems can be positioned for maximum sun exposure.

Understanding the 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
What is the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)?
The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal incentive that allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes. This tax credit is available for both residential and commercial solar installations, making solar energy more affordable for everyone.
Key Benefits of the ITC
Significant Savings:
Deduct 30% of your solar system installation cost from your federal taxes.
Wide Eligibility:
Applies to both residential and commercial solar systems.
Extended Benefit:
The 30% credit is available for systems installed through 2032.
How It Works
Calculate Your Savings:
- If your solar installation costs $20,000, you can claim a credit of $6,000 (30% of $20,000) on your federal taxes.
Tax Liability:
- You must have sufficient federal tax liability to utilize the credit. If your tax liability is less than the credit amount, you can carry over the unused portion to future tax years.
Eligibility Criteria:
- The solar system must be installed on property you own. It must be operational and used for your personal or business purposes.
Additional Incentives/Important Notes
In addition to the federal ITC, check for state and local incentives that may provide further savings or rebates for your solar installation.
