Summerville, South Carolina—aptly named after the sunniest season—receives an average of 209 days of sunlight per year. This abundant solar energy can be harnessed through solar panels to generate clean power. This is especially attractive because South Carolina has the ninth highest energy bill costs in the nation due to higher-than-average electricity rates and increased energy demand for cooling during the hot summer months. However, by installing solar panels, Summerville homeowners can reduce their reliance on grid electricity and lower their utility bills.
South Carolina offers several solar incentive programs to offset the cost of installing solar panels on your roof in Charleston or Summerville. Currently, 3% of South Carolina’s energy is generated by solar panels, but with the Palmetto State’s high utility costs, sunny days, and solar installation incentives, going solar is a bright way to offset homeowners’ energy costs.
South Carolina offers a 25% state tax credit for solar panels, which homeowners can take advantage of in addition to the 30% federal investment tax credit for solar panels. In Summerville, Duke Energy also offers a solar rebate of $0.60/watt to homeowners installing solar panels. South Carolina residents are exempt from property tax increases when the value of their home increases due to solar panels, making solar panels a continuously affordable choice.
In South Carolina, all residents with solar power participate in net metering. When your solar panels generate more electricity than you use, the excess is sent to the grid, and you receive credits on your utility bill. These credits can be applied to future billing periods when your solar production is lower, helping to balance out your energy costs throughout the year.
South Carolina has a 25% state tax credit for solar panels, and local energy provider Duke Energy provides solar rebates too.
