Power outages, soaring electricity costs and environmental concerns are all making residential solar power more appealing.    But how much does it cost to install a solar panel system on your roof? Solar costs can range anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000. The 30% federal tax credit coupled with available state and municipal government tax credits, tax exemptions, rebates and other incentives can further reduce the cost of buying and installing solar systems. To figure out your actual costs, you will first need to know how many solar panels you need to…

Solar panels can cost tens of thousands of dollars up front or spread out in monthly payments. The breakeven point, or payback period, is the time it takes to recoup the cost from the initial investment. Once that time is up, the real savings start.       There are a lot of reasons to think about getting solar panels. You might, like many Americans, want to help the environment by avoiding fossil fuels. Perhaps you want to protect your home from blackouts. Or you might just want to stop paying for electricity. “Solar…

The price of solar panels is probably going to keep dropping over the next decade. Solar has already become half as expensive as it was 10 years ago. New federal incentives that are giving certainty to the solar industry will likely push the price down even further. The combination of cheaper panels and new incentives helped drive record rooftop solar installations in 2022.  So, if solar panels are getting more affordable, why buy them now? Why not wait, say, another decade for an even lower price?  Can solar panels save…

There’s a big new solar tax credit in town. A federal incentive expanded in 2022 through the Inflation Reduction Act can offset 30% of the cost of a residential solar installation. That’s obviously good news for individual customers — but it’s also great news for the solar industry as a whole.  With a decade’s worth of certainty built into these federal incentives, the price of solar is poised to continue its precipitous drop, and become even more accessible for American homeowners. While inflation and higher interest rates have thrown some…

Much of the division’s focus was on electric vehicle (EV) transportation, charging, and battery storage startups. It was here I experienced first-hand the transformational impact renewable energy can have on lowering carbon emissions. After that, I joined one of Europe’s leading…

Which is best for energy saving? We put heat pumps vs solar panels to the test. Both can improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce your carbon footprint and, crucially, save you money on your energy bills. Heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from the air and pump it into your home. This thermal energy can be used to heat your water supply and keep your home warm. They produce so much thermal energy that they can dramatically reduce your dependence on your energy supplier and save you money on…

Growth in the solar power sector is being driven not only by ever-larger utility-scale farms, but also by growth in distributed generation. This smaller-scale use of solar energy is being supported as more homeowners and commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses install solar panels on rooftops, carports, parking garages and more. Distributed solar power generation is being impacted by federal, state, and local policies involving financial incentives, tax credits, and rebates. Evolving net-metering programs, which vary by jurisdiction, also are increasing the need for industry experts that can help customers determine…
