Residential Solar Tax Incentives and Rebates to Help With the Cost of your Solar & Energy Storage System
Residential solar tax incentives have been a major support for our customers in North and South Carolina. Regardless of where you live in 2020, the Federal ITC (investment tax credit) provides a 26% Federal tax credit based upon the total cost of your solar system. Thanks to a recent extension by Congress, the 26% credit will be available until the end of 2022, giving you plenty of time to install solar and maximize your savings.
Renu is a solar consultant and installation company, please speak with your tax advisor or accountant on your eligibility to receive these tax credits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar for Your Home:
How exactly does going solar and a solar system itself work?
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 consider how much solar your budget will allow for and have excellent finance options to fit just about any budget

Curious about the cost of a home solar system?
When our clients ask this question, we immediately tell them about the federal tax credit that comes with going solar: it allows you to increase your tax refund, or decrease the amount of taxes you owe on your system.
The federal tax credit is currently at 26% and will remain at that number through the end of 2022, giving you plenty of time to take advantage of the savings! 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.
