Not only is solar energy good for the environment but it’s one of the best ways to save money on your increasing utility bill.
Going solar can reduce or even eliminate your increasing electric bills.
Some utility companies even offer rebates to residential and commercial property owners that have decided to go solar.
So not only will you be saving money by going solar, but you can get paid to save money.
We haven’t even mentioned the tax credit that you can get by installing solar panels. The federal government offers a 26% tax credit on your solar power system. Meaning you’ll get 26% of the cost back on your federal income tax. If your project also includes back up batteries, generators, new roof, tree trimming, or carport, then the tax credit will apply to those services as well.
Besides all the savings, rebates and tax credits, solar energy can give you a sense of security. Having a solar power system means you’ll never have to worry about the power going out when you need it the most. Since you’ll be creating your own energy through solar panels you no longer have to be dependent on your local utility company.

However, your property will most likely still require an electric meter that connects to the electric grid, depending on jurisdiction.
The tax credit can be carried over in the case that you do not have sufficient tax liability to claim in one year. Credits can carry over as long as the tax credit is in effect.
