Why Residential Solar Might Be The New Columbia Yellow Gold

 

Have you heard of Columbia’s climate action campaign (CPAC)? The city is on a mission, encouraging all Columbia homeowners to improve the local environment through conservation and clean energy. Columbia touts an impressive goal “to power [the] city with 100% renewable power by 2036.” This example of green energy efficiency has motivated locals all over the city and surrounding area to go solar. Residential solar panels help protect the natural beauty of Columbia, but it’s the utility savings that are driving more and more Columbians to the new Yellow Gold of the sun.

 

As of January 1st, Duke Energy is offering a $.60/watt residential solar rebate to Columbia residents. Depending on the size of your solar panel system you can expect to receive a rebate amount between $4,800 and $6,000 dollars from Duke. Installing solar in Columbia has become a serious no-brainer. This rebate, along with a 55% drop in equipment costs over the last 5 years, makes solar systems affordable and give you energy independence.

 

Blue Raven Solar is proud to be part of an effort to install 1,571 MW of solar in South Carolina over the next five years. But what gets us most is excited is seeing big savings on utility bills with residential solar in Columbia. Solar has become the new Columbia Yellow Gold that frees your cash to do more of what you enjoy. Whether it’s a stroll in the park, a night at the Colonial Life Arena, traveling, or just spending more time with family… solar panels give you options.

 

We provide solar to many areas within and near Columbia such as Lexington, Irmo, Cayce, and Sumter.

ABOUT BLUE RAVEN SOLAR IN COLUMBIA

How can we describe our love for the city of Columbia? Gamecocks, Yellow Gold barbeque sauce, the southern charm and hospitality, and the best parks in the nation are just some of the things we can’t get enough of.

As a full-service in-house solar provider, we do not outsource our work to any contractors. This means a speedy installation—1 to 2 months in most cases—and superior customer service for you. We take care of design, permitting, engineering, electrical, installation, paperwork, and everything else.

 

It’s been a few years since we opened our Columbia, Blue Raven Solar office. And while there are many reasons why we’re here, these are the biggest:

In addition to monthly savings, Columbia residents can save on their solar panels through additional discounts depending on your utility provider. Are solar panels really worth it in Columbia, South Carolina?

READ MORE

Determining whether solar is worth it completely depends on a homeowner’s situation. At Blue Raven Solar, we know every homeowner is different. So even if a homeowner has a great reason to go solar, sometimes the homeowner’s situation will not permit a viable way to save money by going solar.

 

We pre-qualify each of our customers before they start on their solar journey. Some scenarios preventing homeowners from going solar are their roof doesn’t get enough sunlight exposure, they don’t have a high enough or taxable income, or their power bill is simply too low.  If a homeowner fits into any of these categories, we recommend they do not move forward with solar. By setting this standard, our customers know what they are getting themselves into before they make any payments.

HOW SOLAR ENERGY WORKS

How solar energy works is a combination of technology, economics, and customer service. It begins with the sun beaming enough energy to earth each hour to power global civilization for a year. With the right equipment, you can harness your share of it and power your life on sunlight. Blue Raven Solar combines all those into a hassle-free experience to make going solar in Columbia almost as easy as flipping a switch.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Photovoltaics, power inverters, net metering, and photons from the sun create a clean, renewable power source for homeowners. Switching to solar shrinks utility bills and your carbon emissions while boosting the value of your home.

THE ECONOMICS

Falling equipment prices, lucrative tax incentives, and attractive financing make solar energy more accessible to average homeowners than ever. In today’s energy market, rooftop solar often pays back its initial price in just a few years.

THE SERVICE

Going solar happens in steps: consultation, design, permitting, installation, inspection, and energization. Each step involves its own process. When you go solar with Blue Raven Solar, our team works hard to keep the whole experience trouble-free.

BECOME YOUR OWN POWER PLANT

At Blue Raven Solar, this is the heart of what we believe: our nation’s current power generation is not sustainable. As a nation, we still get over 60% of our electricity from the burning of fossil fuels.

 

Regardless if one believes in global warming or not, we can all agree the toxic pollution that these carbon-based energy sources spew into the atmosphere is not a good thing. The simple test is this: would you like your family to live next to a coal-fired power plant?

 

Standard electricity is produced from fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. When burned, these fuels emit chemical gases causing pollution and harm to our environment. Fossil fuels are not only destructive to the environment, but they are also a limited resource. Solar electricity is by far one of the cleanest forms of energy.

 

South Carolina residents want to keep their home clean and beautiful, so Columbia homeowners 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! As America’s #1 solar installer, we continue to grow throughout South Carolina, so please get in touch to find out how we can serve you.
