Residential solar panels installed on a family home
    Residential Solar

    Power your home with solar that pays you back

    Turnkey rooftop solar and home battery for homeowners — designed, permitted, installed and warrantied by a single team.

    The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit covers 30% of your system cost through 2032. Stack it with state rebates, net metering and property-tax exemptions, and the average homeowner pays the system off in 7–10 years — then enjoys 15+ years of free electricity.

    What residential solar looks like in the United States

    National averages for a typical single-family rooftop system — your numbers will vary by location, roof orientation and electricity usage.

    Why homeowners go solar

    Six reasons it just makes sense

    Slash your power bill

    Most homeowners eliminate 80–100% of their electric bill from day one — and lock in rates against future utility hikes.

    Boost home value

    Studies (Zillow, LBNL) show solar homes sell faster and for $15,000–$25,000 more on average than comparable non-solar homes.

    Energy independence

    Add a battery and keep your lights, fridge, and Wi-Fi running through outages, storms, and grid failures.

    25-year warranties

    Premium panels carry 25-year power warranties and 12–25 year product warranties — solar is one of the most reliable upgrades you can make.

    Hedge against rate hikes

    US residential electricity rates have risen ~4% per year on average. Solar locks in your generation cost for 25+ years.

    Cut your CO₂ footprint

    A typical residential system offsets 5–10 tons of CO₂ per year — equivalent to planting ~150 trees annually.

    Homeowner incentives

    Every dollar of support you can stack

    Federal, state, utility and local programs combine to cover 30–60% of the average home solar project. Here's the full stack available to US homeowners.

    30%

    Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit

    Claim 30% of your total installed system cost (panels, inverters, batteries, labor) as a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit. Available through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act.

    Federal
    1:1

    Net Metering / Net Billing

    Most utilities credit excess solar production to your bill at or near retail rates. Spin your meter backwards during sunny hours, draw credits at night.

    Utility
    30%

    Battery Storage Credit

    Standalone or paired battery storage (3 kWh+) qualifies for the same 30% federal tax credit — even when added to an existing solar system.

    State & Local Rebates

    Many states (NY, MA, CA, NJ, MD, IL, CT) offer per-watt rebates, performance payments, or SREC programs that stack on top of the federal credit.

    State
    100%

    Property Tax Exemption

    Over 35 states exempt the added home value from solar from property tax reassessment — your home is worth more, your tax bill stays the same.

    State
    100%

    Sales Tax Exemption

    Many states fully exempt residential solar equipment from state sales tax, immediately reducing project cost by 4–8%.

    A 13.5 kWh battery (~$12k installed) keeps essentials running through outages and qualifies for the same 30% credit.

    Estimates use US national averages and assume the system offsets 100% of your usage. Actual production depends on roof orientation, shading, local weather and net-metering rules. State and utility rebates (not included here) can reduce net cost further. Federal tax credit assumes you have sufficient federal tax liability to claim it.
