South Carolina is #12 in the nation for solar energy with over 55,000 homes being powered by solar and counting! With South Carolina being one of the best in solar tax credits and rebates, along with an effort to educate and help homeowners, many are turning to solar even more in 2019.
As of January 1st, Duke Energy is offering a $.60/watt residential solar rebate to Charleston residents. Depending on the size of your solar panel system you can expect to receive a rebate between the amount $4800 and $6000 dollars from Duke.
When you add the 25% tax credit from the state, the tax credit from the federal government, and additional savings from Blue Raven Solar going solar has become an easy decision for Charleston residents.
Every month our solar company is working with people just like you to slash monthly utility bill costs. Our focus is helping homeowners save with solar, but like you, we are also working hard to help the city of Charleston achieve its goal of “[becoming] a global leader in environmental sustainability.” Solar costs have dropped by 55% over the last 5 years to make solar more affordable and allowing more Charlestonians to help sustain the environment.
Unfortunately, some solar incentives will be decreasing. After 2019, the federal tax credit won’t be so generous, and you never know how long local rebates and incentives will last. It’s time to take control of your utility bill. There has never been a better time to go solar in Charleston than 2019.
