How Can You Support Solar Energy?
We know that renewable energy can be confusing, and that’s why we are here to help make it easy. At our website, you can find all of the available financing options for solar panel installation, a directory of local solar installers, and ways to support solar energy without installing panels.
Here is a quick layout of available tools and resources:
Duke Energy rebates: Fill out a rebate application within 90 days of installation and receive rebates of up to $6,000 for residential homes or $75,000 for non-profit commercial installations! Review the process with this factsheet here.
Other local incentives can be found here. Just enter your zip code to receive payback periods, estimated savings, and financing options from local solar installers.
Unable to install at this time? Donate just $4 a month on your electricity bill to support local non-profit Green Power. $2 will go to purchasing renewable energy, and $2 will go to supporting solar installations on K-12 schools in NC. Check out this opportunity here.
We all have the opportunity to play a part in WNC’s clean energy future. Get started today!
