Residential solar systems are eligible for rebates and tax incentives of up to 45% of the total system cost based on the system-specific design factors.

In many parts of the country, solar systems are property tax exempt.
Solar systems will increase your property value too. If there are two identical homes side-by-side, the home with the solar system has an overall lower total cost of ownership thus producing a higher resale value for the property. Also, homes with solar systems generally are sold faster than homes without solar energy.
