Why Install Solar?

A solar installation on your home or business directly offsets the cost of electricity. Eastern Kentucky’s been subject to three rate hikes in the last five years and it’s projected that electricity costs will continue to rise over the next decade. By installing a solar system you can offset your yearly electrical cost and help protect yourself from any future rate increases. As a homeowner if you have any tax liability at the end of the year you may be eligible for a substantial federal tax credit. For a rough estimate of how much an installation could save you and your business, use our Solar Installation Cost Calculator to the right. In addition, financing may be available at a low fixed-rate interest.

Return on Investment for Your Business

Businesses are hit hard with demand charges that add to the overhead costs of running your business. By installing a solar system you could get under the demand charge and use that money to invest in your business. Financing options may be available for your business or non-profit organization. Your business may also be eligible for grant funds through USDA’s R.E.A.P program, as well as a federal tax credit. For Farmers, you may qualify for an additional grant through KADF’s On-Farm Energy Efficiency Incentives Program that may reduce the cost of your installation by as much as $10,000.

How Does Solar Work?

While every system HOMES installs is customized to meet a customer’s individual needs, there are two overall types of solar systems HOMES installs: grid-direct and multimode systems. Both systems take advantage of net metering where any excess power generated by your solar array is automatically sold back to the grid, saving you more money. Grid-direct systems are the most common type of solar array in the United States. These systems have no batteries, lowering the system cost. However, these systems are reliant on the grid to operate and don’t provide power during blackouts. Multimode systems are more expensive to install as they include large capacity batteries in the circuit. Excess power from the solar array first charges the batteries and then any remainder is sold through net metering. These systems can continuously provide power regardless of whether the grid is running. Which type of system HOMES installs is completely dependent on your individual needs and desires.
