James’ Solar Success Story

diehl aerial still solar homeJames’ Solar Success Story

James’ solar success story is just one of our favorites! When asked about his home’s solar energy, Jim beams and spills about his outstanding experience with solar: “[I have solar at] my home in Lake Norman, where I’ve lived for 12 years. I’ve been a solar person for about 5 years now. I’m enjoying it a lot.”

In terms of the dollars and sense of solar, he’s got a definitive argument for the prospective customer: “If I said to you, you can buy a bond today for X amount of dollars, that will pay you 4% this year… 5% next year, and 6 percent the next year, and 7 percent the year after that – I can sell you those bonds all day long. You have an investment, it’s virtually maintenance-free, and it keeps upping the yield as time goes by, because let’s face it, electric is getting more expensive as time goes on, it’s not going to get cheaper.” With that reasoning, he’s proud of his solar and a strong advocate for others to benefit from the technology as he has.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar for Your Home:

How exactly does going solar and a solar system itself work?
Solar energy begins with sunlight that hits the panels to produce energy that flows into your inverter, which converts the DC energy into Alternating Current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home. This same energy is then consumed when powering your home’s light, appliances, gizmos, and gadgets. If you feel your home isn’t producing the energy that it needs, the utility will fill in the gaps. If you system produces more energy than needed, that energy will go to the grid and your utility will credit you for the unused power.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
At Renu Energy Solutions we design our solar panel systems size based on three main factors.

Roof-size/available space: When we look at the size of your roof and the space available, we gather data that tell us the maximum number of solar panels your home or site can hold and we even consider shading. We use a software “Suneye” which takes a 360 picture of your roof and we use this photo to determine if your home is a good candidate for solar.

Energy Usage: When we determine energy usage we look at your past electrical bills from over the course of a year to make sure your system isn’t too big or too small.

Your Budget: We take your budget seriously and most importantly, we want you to be satisfied with our services. We take your feedback on how much you want to spend so that we can size your system appropriately.

What is solar net-metering?
Net-metering is a type of utility policy that controls how your system is connected to the grid and how you are credited for the solar energy you produce.
Does Duke Energy offer net-metering?
Yes! Both Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress territories in NC offer net-metering when your homes goes solar. If you are interested in net-metering, no worries. Our team will guide you through the process as certain utilities have a different application procedure.
Curious about the cost of a home solar system?
When our clients ask this question, we immediately tell Tham about the federal tax credit that comes with going solar. The Federal tax credit for going solar is 26% in 2020. For example, if the total cost of you system was $22,000, when you subtract 26% you are then left with a %16,280 solar system. There is not set price for a home going solar as there are many factors that contribute to the total cost. The price of a solar home can range from $10k to $100k based on the size of your roof, energy usage, aesthetic preferences, and of course, budget.
