North Carolina offers many solar incentives, including rebates, net metering, tax exemptions, and revolving loan options. Duke Energy offers rebates of up to $6,000 for residential customers, $50,000 for commercial customers, and $75,000 for non-profits. The city of Asheville offers rebates on building permits and the state of North Carolina allows a tax exemption for the added home value from solar energy, so you won’t pay higher property taxes after installing solar energy. Additionally, there is state legislation in place that limits solar loan terms to a maximum of 20 years and caps interest rates at 8%. Plus, the state allows net metering, which is a policy that lets you essentially sell any excess energy produced by your solar panels to the utility grid and be compensated in the form of credits on your future energy bills. This can help keep the monthly cost of your electricity bill balanced throughout the year, despite changes in energy production and consumption.

Home solar energy systems can help you significantly reduce or in some cases nearly eliminate your monthly electricity bills. Solar energy is suitable for most homes, especially if you have a pitched, south-facing roof that gets sunlight for most or all of the day. However, even if your roof isn’t well-suited for solar panel installation, you can also opt for a ground-mounted system. With the addition of a battery backup system, your home solar energy system can also provide backup power in the event of a grid outage.
Adding a solar energy system at your business can eliminate a massive chunk of your overhead costs, rendering your business more profitable. Plus, many potential customers are increasingly motivated to shop at businesses whose values align with their own, and solar energy makes a clear statement of your commitment to renewable energy and environmental protection.
Both residential and commercial solar energy systems can help insulate you from rising electricity prices due to inflation, time-of-use charges, and other factors that increase the price over time. With solar, you can often lock in your prices with your utility company or, with an adequately sized system, eliminate all but your monthly base charge.
Roofs and solar energy systems generally have similar life spans of about 30 years, so if you are considering solar but your roof needs replacing in the next few years, it will be cheaper and much easier to replace the roof before you install a solar energy system. Additionally, there are some exciting new solar roof options available that can accomplish both goals.
GAF Energy has designed solar panels that are roof-integrated, so they sit flush with the roof surface instead of on raised racks. This gives them excellent water-shedding capabilities and a sleek low-profile look. Our GAF-certified roofers at Pisgah Solar can replace your roof and install your integrated panels all at once.
