Gov. Nicky Haley signed the net metering bill into law last year in South Carolina. This is making it possible for some homeowners to swap their power bill for a solar bill and end up owning their power within  years. That’s right, no electricity bill, who wouldn’t want that. Net metering allows you to sell your excess energy back to the grid by day while overproducing and pulling what you need from the grid when the sun is down. This acts like an energy savings account between you and your utility.

Homeowners in the Greenville-Spartanburg, Columbia-Lexington and Charleston-Summerville areas are installing residential solar panels in great numbers. Many reasons are motivating this adoption of residential solar panel installation in South Carolina. Solar Energy has been a very popular initiative because in many cases you can switch from your utility to solar energy at little to no cost. Lowering your carbon footprint is good for the environment and going solar is also good for your wallet. When you switch to solar power, you are setting yourself up for long term energy independence.

Did you know that Duke energy has one of the best incentive programs for homeowners to switch to solar energy from traditional utility services. While incentives last for early adopters, homeowners can receive a rebate of $1 per watt back to help offset the cost of your solar array and residential solar installation. Make sure to take advantage while this tremendous rebate is available.

Homeowners served by Santee Cooper can take advantage of a generous rebate incentive of $1.30 pew watt up to the first 4 kW.

SCE&G Solar Rebate Update

The SCE&G Solar rebate has already reached its fulfillment level for residential solar panel system installation in South Carolina. These solar rebates will be discontinued based on what has already been installed and what is scheduled to be turned on and granted permission to operate by the utility. Adoption of solar energy in South Carolina is at an all time high.
