Residential Solar
What is the cost of not going solar? If your electric bill is $150/month, and you don’t go solar, you will pay the utility over $27,000 in the next 15 years! That’s if electric rates do not increase, and we expect them to climb significantly over time.
Solar energy is clean and renewable. An average residential solar system (about 7 kilowatts) reduces CO2 emissions equal to growing 4 acres of forest! It also prevents the generation of nearly 1,200 pounds of harmful coal ash every year. Over 25 years, that’s more than 14 tons of coal ash avoided!
No net metering program exists in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) area at this time. That means the local power company will not buy your excess solar electricity at or near the retail rate. With that in mind, we have three options for residential solar.
3 ways to go solar:
1. Get Started with a Small Solar System (No Batteries)
Typical system cost range:
$10,000-15,000
Cost after tax credit:
$7,800-$11,700
2. Get Grid Independence with Solar + Storage
Typical system cost range:
$40,000-60,000
Cost after tax credit:
$31,200-$46,800
3. Take your Home Completely Off-the-Grid
Cost varies widely, but can be:
$60,000-150,000
Cost after tax credit:
$46,800-$117K
All three systems qualify for the 22% federal tax credit.
