There are many great reasons to consider investing in solar power for your home—and being a better neighbor is just one of them. You will increase the value of your home and save money every day—all while reducing dependence on fossil fuels pollution and helping to minimize the carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.

Solar Energy: Insurance against the rising cost of electricity. Making the switch to renewable solar energy for your home not only gives you immediate energy savings today, but offers your household important protection against unexpected utility rate increases. Utility rates are projected to rise at a rate of 3-5% per year, making your system more valuable over time.

Investing in a solar energy system for your home can be surprisingly affordable. There are a variety of incentives available that may reduce your initial investment in a solar energy system by up to 55% (depending on the current status of your state grant and the specifics of your solar system).

Why do utility companies and federal, state and local governments want to help homeowners invest in solar systems? Because solar power is a smart investment for everyone. Making solar power more affordable to you helps governments encourage energy independence, create high tech jobs and boost the economy. Utility companies encourage the adoption of solar because they incur higher costs to generate electricity during peak demand times. Solar production is at its highest during peak hours—reducing stress on the grid.

Solar Incentives for Delaware Residents

As a Delaware resident interested in going solar, you have access to a variety of Federal and state incentives to help you determine whether adding a solar electric system to your home makes sense. With an expanded Federal Investment Tax Credit, the Delaware Solar Grant Program and the increasing value of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) available to homeowners like you, Delaware now ranks in the upper tier of states offering incentives that make it easier for residents to invest in solar electric systems.

Federal Investment Tax Credit

Purchase a solar electric system for your home and receive a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the total cost of your system*, Since this is a tax credit, it’s always a good idea to discuss any specific questions about the Federal Investment Tax Credit with a tax professional.

In addition to the Federal Investment Tax Credit, there are a host of incentives available specifically for Delaware residents. The incentives change frequently as programs and funding become more available.

Take a look at the types of incentive programs available in your area**, or talk to your Standard Solar Expert for the most current incentive programs available for Delaware residents.

* In Delaware, the Federal Incentive Tax Credit of 30% is calculated after the utility incentives are applied to the cost of the system.
