SOLAR SAVINGS IN NORTH CAROLINA
Here at Blue Raven Solar, we know that deciding whether a solar system is right for your home usually involves a lot of number crunching and research. Finding each individual rebate or net metering policy for your specific state and city can cost you time and cause a lot of frustration (as many sources are outdated and inaccurate). We’re here to help you decide whether or not solar is a worthwhile investment for your home and situation, not just to sell you solar panels.
North Carolina receives more than the average national sunlight, and its hot summers and moderate winters make the Tar Heel State a great candidate for solar energy. In fact, the solar industry has grown pretty quickly in North Carolina thanks to local and federal incentives. With about 6.5 MW installed, or enough solar to power almost 800,000 homes at the end of 2019, North Carolina is one of the leaders in the nation for solar and continues to grow.
Now that we see North Carolina is a great place to consider residential solar, let’s take a dive into what incentives drive homeowners in the Tar Heel State to go solar:
NET METERING
The three largest electric utilities in North Carolina are required to provide full retail rate net metering to their customers. This means that homeowners with solar can sell back their excess electricity at full value to generate credits for future month’s utility bills. All unused credits get transferred to these utility companies without compensation at the beginning of each summer.
SOLAR REBATES
Duke Energy offers homeowners $0.60/watt for systems up to 10 kilowatts, meaning that solar customers can save up to $6,000. This rebate is one of the best in the nation and has influenced many homeowners to make the switch to solar.
BUILDING PERMIT REBATE
Solar system owners in the city of Asheville are eligible for a rebate on the cost of the building permit when installing solar.
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
By putting solar on a roof, the value of a home increases immediately. Unfortunately, this means that homeowners will experience an increase in property tax. Luckily, North Carolina allows 80% of this increase in home value to be exempt from property tax.
SHOULD I GO SOLAR IN NORTH CAROLINA?
Less than 3% of the current U.S. population are enjoying the benefits & savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing that our customers are saving money and reducing their carbon footprint. We want the same for you.

We’re excited to help you throughout your solar journey and hope to help you make a positive impact on the environment while saving you thousands on your electricity bill!
It is our priority to help our customers become aware of how their current situation connects to solar.

We knew we wanted to get solar panels as soon as we bought our first house. I started looking at reviews and liked what I saw about Blue Raven. The process has been quite painless. Today the panels were installed and the young men that were here were very professional and as quiet as can be considering they are crawling on the roof. In all I am happy to have called Blue Raven solar and would definitely recommend them if you are interested in solar for your home.

I was not thinking of solar but with all the discounts who could resist!The electrician walked me through the odd wringing in the garage. He had to cut into the sheet rock and said it would be fixed before the inspection. The crew that installed the panels on the roof walked me through how it all worked. These guys were awesome! They took their time and made sure I was happy and understood everything!Your next install with Blue Raven needs to be with this TEAM!!!Thank you guys!!Here's to lower electric bills!!Thank you again!Kim Kennedyread more

This is just on the installation. They two guys did great. A little rowdy early in the morning but over all once they started to work they were great. The foreman on the job explained what to expect and answered my questions clearly and honestly. They picked up the mess and made sure the little dents in our new gutters was banged out; caused by the ladder. This was the easiest part of the process. Done in one day!

The gentlemen arrived right when they said they would, and got right to work. It was about 100 degrees that day, and probably even hotter on the roof, but they busted their tails all day, and kept a positive attitude. They finished about 2 hours ahead of schedule, and the installation looks great. They also took the time to answer all of my questions before they left. They cleaned up their work area, and it was spotless, like they had never been there. These guys were a great crew, and I couldn't be happier.read more

Super impressed with the whole process, Parker is a rockstar, answered questions and phone calls even on the weekend, can tell he loves what he does. The install team was amazing, super friendly, very respectful and were proactive in letting me know what the next steps were. Blue Raven Solar should be proud of the team they have here in Portland, OR they represent very well! Thanks again!

Blue Raven was referred to us by a neighbor who said it was a perfect experience and I completely agree. From beginning to end, the customer service and follow through were excellent. The installation crew were the nicest and hardest working three people I think I have worked with on a construction project. The electrician was efficient, fast, and thorough. At the end of the long day, our panels were installed and producing. I would absolutely hire Blue Raven again, and recommend that others use them for their solar installation, too.read more

The experience was GREAT! Megan Thomason was truly amazing from the time she arrived at my home, until the day my installation was completed. She took care of everything. She was available to answer any questions regardless of the time of day or how insignificant the question might’ve been. She made sure my installation was scheduled and done in a timely manner that worked for my schedule. I cannot say enough about her.The gentlemen who did the installation were very professional and knowledgeable about the many questions I had regarding the electrical work.I had a great experience with Blue Raven and recommended them to two of my neighbors.read more

The installers were efficient and professional. They were mindful of our property and cleaned up the area upon leaving.However, one of the installers damaged our bedroom ceiling when working in the attic. We contacted the company and they placed a work order for the repair. That was only yesterday.I would suggest a walk through for future jobs prior to leaving to assess if any damage occurred during installation.The electrician came the very next day to complete his part of the job, he too was efficient and professional, explaining everything that we needed to know.We are waiting for final inspection before we can use the system, but are excited about it.read more

Great experience so far. The salesman, Parker, was knowledgeable and professional. He didn't leave me with questions. I have since talked to him about a few inquiries and concerns and he has promptly found answers or had the right people call me back.The installation team was great. They showed up early and stayed late to get the job done in one day instead of the scheduled two days. My experience has been 90-95% positive minus some scheduling issues when power was cut on the wrong day, but we got it figured out. Overall great company.read more

I just had solar panels installed at our new home by Blue Raven and I would highly recommend them. I have been very impressed with the company from the sales person, customer service, net zero, engineering, plans, and especially installation. The installation was outstanding. They did a great job and the panels look atheistic pleasing. They were very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I was informed they would be at the site at 8am and they were right on time. The installation team was suppose to be three but one had got hurt, so two did the work. They did very well and finished on time. The electrician came later in day and completed the work. Very though and did a great job. One thing I was concerned with is how the installation team was carrying up the panels on the ladders. It was very unsafe and someone is going to get hurt badly or worse. The company should look at safety equipment like a conveyor belt, winch and pulley or forklift to get the panels up to the roof. It will save the company time and money and save life’s. Would also suggest hiring more electrician s. Seemed to be short handed. Overall an outstanding company and serviceread more

Started with a knock. Blue raven was easy to work with from the canvasser to the install. We worked with them on what our future electric needs were to get a system that would allow us to grow and be energy independent. They were quick with design plans. The hardest part was the wait for approval from the city. I am very satisfied with their customer services. During install there was a small hiccup with the thermostat. They had a hvac installer out same day to get us back up and runner. Each time I have had to call, the hold times have almost been nonexistent. I got quotes from 3 other companies and they were the best priced and fastest to respond.read more

My installers were fantastic! Showed up on time, very friendly, explained things thoroughly. Stayed masked up while in the house (yay covid). My attic access is in my hallway, so I avoided mopping because some of the insulation usually floats it’s way down - they vacuumed up and left no trace. The panels look amazing! Made sure to announce themselves going in and out of the house even though I had the door propped open, very thoughtful. They also made sure to explain that Blue Solar would be in contact to schedule the electrician to come out to do the work in the electric panel and walked me through the last few steps of the process and made sure I understood the general timeline and what to expect. I’ve been very pleased with all of my interactions with Blue Solar so far.read more

When i was looking for a new home, 12 years ago, I wanted a house I could go totally solar. I saw the solar tech changing constantly, evolving & getting more expensive! Then last year Blue Raven showed up on my research. I applied & I am now a solar 'baby'! New roof & panels on my roof. The sales person, Casey, all the way through the installers & electrician were amazing to work with. I recommend this company to ANYONE looking to go solar!

My experience with Blue Raven Solar has been absolutely fantastic! They contacted me directly via solicitation to our house and I am very happy that I gave them the time of day. Before I was even a customer they had done their due diligence and determined that I was a good candidate for solar. After talking with their rep I scheduled a follow up with their salesperson. Parker was very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us determine that for about $10 more a month than we are paying for our power we could purchase solar panels.After we determined to purchase the solar panels Blue Raven pretty much took care of everything in a very expedient manner. They sent someone over to photograph the roof and developed a design. They submitted for permits quickly and scheduled construction soon after the permits were issued. It took their crew about a day to install the panels and do the electrical work. As an added bonus they gave us a free EcoBee smart thermostat as well as a bunch of LED lights. There was an issue when they installed the thermostat and Blue Raven promptly scheduled a HVAC technician to come over and fix the issue.From the beginning consult to the final install it has been an absolute fabulous experience. This has been one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time.read more

Great alternative power source however the misleading ads on facebook about free solar power is in correct. You are required to apply for a loan through them so you have to pay the loan off prior to actually getting any kick back. Your electric bill does go down but what you save on that bill is not much compared to the loan payment you are paying in addition. The loan has kick back to the electric company by the way so what you save is being recouped through the loan.

Everyone we worked with at Blue Raven was fantastic!! They kept everything on track and made everything extremely easy for us to make the switch to solar. They kept in touch during the times when things moved at a slower pace and let us know what to expect next every step of the way. Their timelines were spot on and they made sure all of our questions were answered. They made sure there were no surprises along the way too!! THANK YOU Blue Raven for everything!!

Blue Raven had consistent and frequent communication during the process of planning, scheduling, installing, and inspecting solar installation. The many contacts involved a variety of people at the company and they seemed to have solid information sharing internally, were polite, and answered all my questions.

Blue Raven Solar is awesome! My panels have been up and running for a year and everything has run smooth and as planned. Every interaction with them has been professional and courteous. Plus, my panels have performed 10% better than expected and the environmental impact for this past year equates to planting 350 trees. So pleased!!

The installers were prompt and courteous. They explained what was going to be done and didn't over promise. They estimated to be done by 3 but were finished by 2 even with a little bad weather. Overall it went very smoothly.

Really impressed with my solar system. I have generated enough energy to get through the fall and winter raining seasons in just 7 months. It will be a nice bonus to not have an electric bill for the winter or the whole year for that matter.

The blue raven solar crew showed up at 7am. They rolled in like the mob and started working through the various aspects of the project. Everyone knew what to do and everyone was moving, not like a state worker looking in a manhole or digging a hole. They were swift, accurate, and their lead guy (can’t remember his name) is extremely attentive to detail. Job was done by 10a, leaving me with more time in my day to do other things.I’m extremely happy with this investment and the company.I would highly recommend Blue Raven Solar!read more

The crew was on time and began setting up right away. They were all very polite and could answer all of our questions. Because of code the boxes had to be placed on the front of the house because of fence and stairs. The electrician showed and explained all this to my husband and son so they could make the decision. Great crew. Thank you. Lee

What a first rate installation team! They were all friendly, communicated well regarding the process of the installation and details of system operation. And, they were right on time, efficiently installed the system and left without a sign of even being here, all in a few hours!

The installation of 19 panels took little time at all. The installers had no problems as a team accomplishing the install. The on-site electrician and apprentice went above and beyond with his work, unfortunately our furnace is severely out of date, but it was a great attempt. Definitely keeping them in mind on next house purchase.

The people from Blue Raven Solar have been FANTASTIC from our initial meeting with the sales representative to the installers to the licensed electrician. They were all polite and conscientious and the noise was minimal. We were kept up with every detail and all of our questions were answered to our satisfaction. We highly recommend them to anyone who is even just thinking about the idea of having their own solar system installed. With the rising cost of electrical production and seeing our bill rise yearly I don't think we will ever regret this decision.read more

The Blue Raven crew was here yesterday for the primary install of the solar panels in miserable rainy weather. They did this pretty quickly, and were all nice and professional. The electrician installed the ecobee as well, and walked me through how to use it, with tips about registration and app install that helped. One inverter was dysfunctional, so one of the installers replaced it later in the day on his commute home. This was a good crew, which makes me feel good about the organization overall. Another person will be shoring up rafters soon, and there is more to come, but it's off to a very good start. My cat, however, is sleeping in the closet again today 😉read more

I have a lot of confidence in this company because I've known one of their reps for a couple of years. They installed this morning and did a great job. The men were cordial and efficient. And one of them took the time to go over the new thermostat and explain everything in detail. I would recommend this company.
