Savings from the Sun Nonprofit Solar Program

Renu is helping non-profit organizations across the country go solar with Savings from the Sun, in which we can help you so solar and/or make energy efficient retrofits. Your congregation or organization members can get involved to raise the capital you need to build a more sustainable future for your building and your community!

How do I get started with Savings from the Sun?

First we need to do an energy evaluation of your building, including reviewing your utility bill. This will allow us all to see how much energy the building is currently using, and which solutions may be appropriate like pipe wrap, insulation, lighting changes, heating and air tuneups.

We’ll also learn when the greatest amount of energy is being consumed during the day, week, and year, and the amount of available roof/ground space for a proposed system that would fit your organization’s needs. Whether your energy usage peaks on Monday morning, Sunday morning, Friday night or during holidays or community events, we can assess and model how energy saving improvements will reduce costs.

Send us a copy of your utility bill and we can get started on your free solar evaluation.

From there, we will likely survey your building to ensure we are recommending the the right solutions that will be viable for you, and get a sense of the optimal location and exact placement for the greatest environmental and budgetary benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar:

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.
