Home Solar Environmental Impacts

(If a cleaner, greener future is more your thing.)

Unlike traditional energy sources, solar is renewable, sustainable, and requires little to no water, conserving precious resources. Going solar doesn’t just cut costs, it cuts your carbon footprint too!

493 Barrels of Oil

The CO2 emissions of the number of barrels of oil that would produce the same amount of energy as a solar installation.

5,431 Trees Planted

The number of trees that would need planted for the same reduction of CO2 emissions of a solar installation.

2 Vehicles Removed

The number of vehicles removed from the road per year to produce the same reduction of CO2 emissions as a solar installation.

Maximize Your Savings with Solar Rebates, Tax Credits and More!

The cost of solar installation depends on the size of your system, energy needs, and available incentives. While there’s an upfront investment, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial expense. Switching to solar has never been more affordable thanks to a range of incentives designed to make clean energy accessible. Learn more about these great incentives below.

What are the solar Incentives in North Carolina?

  • The Federal ITC Solar Tax Credit
  • The Duke Power PowerPair Rebate Program
  • The Duke Power PowerPair plus Energy Wise Power Manager Battery Control Program

What is the Duke PowerPair program and how does it work?

The Duke Energy PowerPair program is an initiative in North Carolina aimed at encouraging homeowners to install solar panels along with battery storage systems.  Duke offers up to $9,000 in incentives to offset installation costs depending on your selected system size and battery capacity.

  • $0.36/watt-AC for solar panel installation up to 10 kW-AC
  • $400/kWh for battery storage installation up to 13.5 kWh

Homeowners can then choose between 2 options.  Both options require a reliable internet connection and permission for Duke to access and use all data associated with the systems operation.

PowerPair: Allows you to keep full control of your battery system and receive the cash rebate. If you choose this option, you will be billed through a TOU (Time Of Use) rate structure, also referred to as the Residential Solar Choice rider.

PowerPair + Power Manager Battery Control: Allows you to receive the cash rebate plus a monthly credit per your battery capacity.

If you opt for the Duke Power Manager Battery Control, you will be enrolled in the Net Metering Bridge rider.  With this option, Duke has access to discharge your battery to 20% state of charge up to 36 times per year.
