Is Solar Worth It?

30% Federal Tax Credit

The ITC covers 30% of your system cost through 2032. A $20,000 system costs just $14,000 after the credit.

7-10 Year Payback

Most homeowners break even in 7-10 years, then enjoy free electricity for 15+ more years.

25+ Year Lifespan

Solar panels are warrantied for 25 years and can produce power for 30-40 years with minimal degradation.
