SOLAR SAVINGS IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Why do people love living in South Carolina? With it beautiful beaches, rich history, great weather and proximity to both the mountains and the coast, South Carolina has grown in popularity and many of its cities consistently rank on “best places to live” lists. Also, with lots of sun and several solar incentives, South Carolina is also a great place to make the switch to solar! When homeowners combine federal tax credits with state tax credits, they’ll be sure to save big on their solar system.

Net metering is applicable to all South Carolina residents. Every residential solar owner is entitled to credits for excess energy production. Those credits will be applied to the homeowner’s next utility bill and if there are excess credits at the end of the year, homeowners receive compensation.

South Carolina is one of the few states to offer state tax credits for going solar. The tax credit covers 25% of the cost of your solar system and can be carried over for up to ten years if you don’t pay enough in taxes in any one year.

Our process with Blue Raven started the end of August, Manny Bailey came to our house and explained the process and showed us a layout to what we... would expect to see if we went with solar. He was very informative, not pushy at all and it was a no brainer to go with solar because our house is east and west facing and we get great sun exposure. The fact that Blue Raven handles everything from permits to the city, to contacting the HOA for approval we just sat back and had to sign eDocs. Every step of the way was super smooth. It has now been one day shy of a week since we've had our panels installed, the city came by the next day to inspect them, then the power company the next and we were able to turn on our solar and have been generating power since. Like I said every step of the way was seemless and we didn't really have to do much. The only issues we had was connecting to the enlighten app which is the app you will use to view your panels and see how much power you are generating, I did have to call them because I never received a link to connect to the app and we were given a smart thermostat which is a perk to going with Blue Raven unfortunately the thermostat is outdated and our router and wifi are too new to connect so we can either go back to our old one or purchase a smart thermostat with our own money. All in all, we had a great experience and the minor issues don't take away from all the positives we had.read more
