What are the benefits of going solar?
Going solar offers a range of benefits including lower electricity bills, increased home value, lowered carbon footprint, protection against rising energy costs and more!
Is my home a good candidate for solar?
There are several key factors to consider when deciding if a home is good for solar. A few include sun exposure, roof condition and type, electricity usage, and nearby shade obstructions. Speaking with an expert at Rhino Renewables is the best way to find out if your home would be a good candidate for solar.
How much does a solar system cost?
Solar systems vary in cost based on a customer’s needs, the system size, and whether or not batteries are installed for backup power. A common range is between $15,000 and $40,000 before incentives are applied.
How much can I save with solar?
Savings vary depending on the site and the system installed, but homeowners often can reduce their electricity bills by 70% or more! Over the lifespan of the solar system, savings can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars.
Do I need batteries?
If having power when the grid goes down is important to you, batteries are required. The solar panels will charge the batteries so that your home stays up and running while you wait for the grid to come back on.
Are there any rebates or incentives available?
Yes! There is currently at 30% Federal income tax credit and a Duke Energy rebate known as the Power Pair Program and Energy Wise Battery manager for first time customers installing solar and batteries.
What financing options are there?
Self Help Credit Union offers very competitive loan options for homeowners wanting to go solar. Another option is to check your existing lender about a Home Equity Line of Credit or a personal loan.
Is there any maintenance required?
A solar system typically requires very little maintenance. Due to the amount of rain we get in this part of the country, solar panels stay pretty clean. As such, we do not recommend or offer solar panel cleaning. If any maintenance needs arise, our service technicians are ready to help.
What about warranties?
In addition to great equipment warranties from manufacturers, Rhino Renewables provides a 10-year workmanship and roof leak warranty.
