Cleaner Air and Greener Communities
Choosing to produce your own power cuts down harmful pollutants and leads to cleaner air across neighborhood. You’re not just boosting your own wallet—you’re doing something positive for environment too. With plenty of clear skies across much of state, your setup can perform better than expected.

Big Savings Over Time
One of biggest draws of setting up your own grid-tied source is savings potential. Monthly bills drop noticeably, and over years, those savings stack up fast. For many folks, upfront cost gets paid off within just a few years—and after that, it’s all upside.

Boosting Home Value
Homes with independent electric solutions often draw higher offers when it’s time to sell. Buyers value built-in long-term savings, so having everything already installed gives property a strong competitive edge.

What It Really Costs to Get Started
What you pay depends on installation size, equipment grade chosen, and overall project complexity. On average, most homeowners spend between $14,000 and $16,000 for a standard residential project—before incentives or financial breaks apply.

Thanks to government incentives, that price can drop by 30% or more right away. That means actual cost may land closer to $10,000, give or take—sometimes even lower depending on income level or location.

What Kind of Support Is Available?
There are several programs in place to help homeowners and business owners bring costs down and see faster returns.

30% Federal Tax Perk
Uncle Sam offers a tax break that cuts 30% off setup price. That covers everything—panels, inverters, mounting gear, labor, plus permitting. If you qualify, you can subtract a sizable amount from your tax bill following year.

Statewide Credits Program
Locally, a program offers upfront credits based on how much electricity your equipment is expected to produce over next 15 years. Credits arrive in advance and can cut thousands from initial expenses right away. It’s not a loan—you keep full amount.

Affordable Access Program
If income sits on lower end, you may qualify for a program that covers nearly all related expenses. These options aim to shrink monthly utility charges without requiring upfront payment. It’s a practical path for renters and homeowners alike who could use a financial boost to get started.

Extra Perks for Smart Systems
If your design includes advanced features like smart inverters, you might be eligible for rebates—up to $300 for each kilowatt installed. For example, a midrange 10 kW array could earn you $3,000 back simply for selecting the right components.

No Extra Property Tax
Worried your home value will go up and take your taxes with it? Don’t be. State laws say that when you add this kind of system to your property, your tax bill won’t rise because of it. That’s one less thing to stress over.

Getting Paid for What You Don’t Use
In this state, when panels generate more electricity than a household uses, extra power flows back into utility grid. In return, credits apply toward future bills, lowering what you owe. This setup, often called net sharing, used to rank among top money-saving benefits after installation.
Starting in 2025, new installations move into a supply-only model. While returns are not as generous as earlier programs, you still earn solid value whenever production exceeds usage.
