Solar is the future, and the state of Ohio is onboard the renewable energy train. Many might initially think that Ohio’s cold and bitter winters make it a less suitable candidate for solar energy. However, the Buckeye state has some of the best solar policies and incentives for homeowners, along with hot and sunny summers. With enough solar power in the state to power over 33,000 homes, Ohio embraces solar energy and there has never been a more perfect time for Ohioans to go solar!
Along with the federal tax credit, Ohio’s net metering policy, solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs), and the Energy Conservation for Ohioans (ECO-Link) program make it more affordable than ever.
Many residents of Ohio have gone solar by purchasing their systems outright, or by doing a power purchase agreement (or PPA). Knowing if solar ownership or a PPA is the best option for your home can be difficult and confusing. Check out the information below about going solar in Illinois to see what’s best for you.

If you’re considering making the switch to solar in Ohio, you are probably wondering if it’s worth the investment.
With three major cities, crazy sports fans, a unique food scene, plenty of history, fun amusement parks, and a booming job market and economy, it’s no wonder some call Ohio the hidden gem of the Midwest. The low cost of city living and breathtaking landscapes have attracted many people to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, or surrounding areas.
However, with its cold, bitter winters, Ohio is likely not the first state you’d think of when it comes to sunshine and solar panels. The Buckeye State lies in the Great Lakes region of North America, and its location, along with a lack of mountain ranges and proximity to the lakes contribute to its climate. But summers are hot and humid in Ohio, and the state does offer some of the best net metering incentives in the nation. Homeowners who want to make the switch to clean, renewable and produce their own power in Ohio will not only save money but also reduce their carbon footprint by going solar. Let’s dive into what local incentives are offered to Ohio homeowners that go solar:
Net Metering – Net metering in Ohio makes solar a great investment for several reasons. Firstly, all utilities in Ohio must offer net metering to residential solar owners. Secondly, all net excess generation is carried over to the next month as energy credits. Lastly, if you have net excess generation (a surplus of credits) over the course of 12 months, Ohio is one of the only states that will send you a check in the mail to pay for those leftover credits.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates – Because Ohio has committed to having 25% of its energy be produced by renewable energy sources by 2027, the state is offering energy certificates which are given out for each megawatt hour of electricity your panels produce.
Sales Tax Exemption – All Ohio residents are exempt from sales tax on their new solar system, meaning they won’t have to pay an extra 5.75% on their system.
Property Tax Exemption – Cleveland and Cincinnati are the only two cities in the state that let their citizens keep that added home value from solar panels off of their property tax.
Less than 3% of the current U.S. population are enjoying the benefits & savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing that Blue Raven Solar customers are saving money and reducing their carbon footprint. We want the same for you.
