- State Local Rebates
- Performance Based Incentives (SRECs)
- Utility Incentives

What is the Average Cost of a Solar System Installation?
After 30% solar tax incentives, the typical cost of a solar panel system varies depending on how many solar panels you need. Adding solar to your home; though, boosts the value of your home. According to studies, installing a one-kilowatt system can increase the resale value of your house by up to 5%. Moreover, if your home is Pearl Certified, it will add more value to your property.

Understanding the Solar Payback Period
The solar payback period is the time it takes for the savings on your electricity bills to cover the solar system cost. Once installation costs are covered, you will start enjoying solar savings for the lifespan of your system.
Learn how to calculate the payback period in our Solar Payback Period Guide.


Connecting to the Grid – Why It's Important?
Solar panels may not work with maximum efficiency on cloudy days or at night. On the other hand, if you do not have solar batteries, you can use grid power during such circumstances. Even if you have a backup battery installed and you are connected to the grid too, you can send excess power through “net metering”. In return, you can earn energy credit for sending power to the grid.
