We have some good news to share! As part of the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress in August, the federal solar tax credit, also known as the investment tax credit (ITC), was increased to 30% and extended to 2034.

Millions of Americans are already running their homes with solar power and many more are making the switch every year. But where do you start?

The simple answer to this question is no. There are, however, a few ways to avoid power outages if you have solar. Let’s get into the details.

Happy Earth Day 2022!
Solar is one of the best ways to be green, but what do you do with solar panels after they’re removed?

2022 is the last year the Federal Solar Tax Credit will be at 26% for residential properties. Starting in 2023, the credit will drop to 22%, and by 2024 the credit will be eliminated. We’ve said it before, and we will keep saying it— the time is NOW for solar.

Do solar panels work in the winter? The short answer is YES. Here’s why.

So far, many of our blog posts have been about the “gear up” to solar— How much does it cost? How many panels should you get? Which installer should you go with? We want to switch directions on this post and talk about what happens after you install solar. Even if you are still contemplating switching to solar or have already made the switch, it is important to know what you are getting yourself in to.

If you are interested in solar energy but not sure how to get started, you are not alone. Solar can be complex, but with the right resources and a little education, it can also be a lot of fun. In this post you’ll find a quick and easy guide to help you on your solar journey and start saving.

Most people considering a DIY project of this magnitude do it for one reason: cost. A professional solar installation can be more expensive than a DIY installation, but ultimately, we believe using a professional installer is the right way to go.

As a homeowner, you can control how much electricity you use by being more mindful around your home, i.e., turning off lights, lowering your thermostat, and hanging your clothes to dry, but you can’t control the rate at which you pay for electricity. This can be quite frustrating for homeowners. There is an alternative, however, and that is solar.

This is the most common question that homeowners have when thinking about going solar. The good news is that with the increase in demand for solar power and the advancements in technology, the price of solar has significantly declined over the years. There has never been a better time to go solar.
