No matter where you live in the Southeast U.S., solar incentives are within reach. Homeowners in states like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and beyond can take advantage of both federal and local programs to lower the cost of going solar.
All U.S. homeowners are eligible for the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers 30% of the total cost of your solar system—including battery storage. This is a major way to reduce your upfront investment.
In addition to the federal credit, some states, counties, and utility providers offer additional rebates, property tax exemptions, or net metering programs that can boost your solar savings even further.

Net metering is a billing system that allows you to earn credits for the excess electricity your solar system produces. When your system generates more energy than your home uses, the surplus is sent back to the utility grid—and your utility credits your account.
Your utility account stores those extra solar credits—like depositing energy during the day and withdrawing it when the sun goes down. It helps you maximize savings and keep your energy bill low, even when your panels aren’t producing.

Transfer It
Most of our loan options are completely transferable to the next homeowner. In fact, your solar investment can raise the value of your home. Generally by 15-20%, determined by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Unlike a tax rebate/refund, where you receive a return on the excess amount of taxes you have paid to the state/federal government in the past year, the federal government provides a solar tax credit (also known as the investment tax credit) that enables you to deduct 30% of the cost of a solar energy system from your taxes, dollar for dollar. As a credit you take the amount directly off your tax payment, rather than as a deduction from your taxable income.
To claim the credit, you must file IRS form 5695 as part of your tax return, you calculate the credit on the form, and then enter the result on your 1040. For example, if you paid $25,000 for the installation of a solar energy system, you qualify for a $7,500 tax credit.
If you were to owe $10,000 in taxes when tax season rolls around, you could apply the entire $7,500 credit and you would owe Uncle Sam the remaining $2,500. In order to qualify for this 30% tax credit, one must be actively paying taxes. Also, the credit does not apply for installations on rental properties. Anyone who installs panels on an existing home, new construction, or second residence / vacation home will be able to utilize the tax credit.
