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 system for your home can be surprisingly affordable. There are a variety of incentives available that can reduce your initial investment in a solar system by up to 30% (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 West Virginia Residents

If you’re a West Virginia resident and you’re interested in making the switch to solar energy, there are several programs available to you. The expanded Federal Investment Tax Credit and the increasing value of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), available to homeowners like you, ease your initial solar electric system investment.

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, including installation and any improvements you need to make to your roof to support the solar panel arrays. 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 periodically incentives available specifically for West Virginia*. Talk to your Standard Solar Sales Expert for the most current incentive programs available for West Virginia residents.
