Matt Zothner · Accepted Answer

One of the most significant cost-saving measures in transitioning to alternative energy like solar is leveraging incentives like tax credits, SRECs, and net metering programs. For example, the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows homeowners to deduct 30% of their solar installation costs from their taxes. In states with Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) markets, like New Jersey or Pennsylvania, homeowners can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually by selling SRECs generated by their systems. These enable a homeowner, small business or even large customers to save massively on energy bills because they now produce most of their own power. It's effectively a hedge against inflation of energy prices!
