SOLAR SAVINGS IN NORTH CAROLINA
We’re here to help you determine if solar is a smart investment for your home, not just to sell you monocrystalline solar panels.
With about 9, 698 MW installed over 1,000,000 homes in 2024, North Carolina is one of the leaders in the nation for solar and continues to grow year over year.
Now that we see North Carolina is a great place to consider residential solar, let’s take a dive into what incentives drive homeowners 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.
BUILDING PERMIT REBATE
Solar system owners in North Carolina 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 and savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing that our customers are saving money and reducing their carbon emissions. We want the same for you.
With the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 30% and local incentives, North Carolina residents are jumping at the chance to become a part of the renewable energy movement. 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. Start by reviewing some of our solar resources like the cost of going solar, the solar installation process, and more information about our team. You can also request a free solar quote and a solar consultation by filling out an application on our estimate your savings.

The staff working on this project did a great job. The weather at one time was not ideal but they weathered the storm. They left my property very... clean and were very polite and mannerly. I did have a concern about them blocking my driveway even after I requested that they use other areas to park their vehicles. Otherwise, the job was well done.read more

Our project manager and engineer team was nothing short of excellent for our home's solar project. Jesse is prompt and concise with the pitch, which... led to efficiency in logistics and paperwork (about a month and half as we were in no hurry). Elijah and crew truly delivered on the installation which took less than a workday. We're excited to see solar's potential and glad Blue Raven was the choice! (will add pics later)read more
