Schedule your free consultation with a Reliant Solar Energy Expert. This conversation will get your questions answered and help you determine the solar system that’s ideal for your home.
Your Solar Energy Expert will investigate the rooftop surfaces best suited for solar panels, as well as other features of your home that impact design. One section of the roof may get direct sunlight, for example, and another may be blocked by trees – each is important to factor into solar system design. You can expect your Solar Energy Expert to identify typical energy usage rates for your home, too.
There are many ways solar can help you save money! You can take advantage of federal and state tax incentives, which provide a tax credit of 30% of installation costs through 2032. You could also enjoy a lower monthly electricity bill, a higher home value (Zillow estimates that homes with solar panels sell for an average of 4% more on resale), and you may be able to receive credits for the excess electricity produced by your solar system. What’s more, Reliant can help connect you to third parties for financing options that help lower the upfront investment for solar panels.
In 2023 tax credits for solar panels are widely available from the federal government. You may qualify for such credit as well as other financial incentives. Learn more here.
Our Solar Energy Experts are committed to helping you find the right path to your solar-energized home, gathering information, exploring incentive programs available, and performing research on your individual location. The overall process may take up to 8 to 12 weeks.
No. Home Solar is only for a home’s roof.
The electricity your solar panels harvest from the sun goes toward all your household’s energy usage, including recharging your EV.
The electricity your solar panels produce helps to power your home. If your panels produce more electricity than your home needs, the extra electricity is delivered to the grid.
Solar energy production releases a lot less CO2 and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than conventional energy production does. In fact, emissions are only created in making the solar panels and not when you generate electricity at home. Furthermore, the sun is a renewable source of energy, so with solar, you don’t have to worry about depleting the earth’s resources.
Even with solar panels your home is connected to the grid, so there is still the risk of neighborhood outages. That being said, a home battery storage system can keep a household supplied with electricity during outages. Our consultants can tell you about options for batteries that will fit your home’s electricity usage.
Yes. Reliant customers who already have solar panels can benefit from the Solar Payback Plus plan. You'll earn bill credits, applied to your monthly Reliant bill, when you send excess solar energy back to the grid.
For anyone unable to install their own solar panel array, we offer Make It Solar. This add-on is a great option for homeowners and renters who want to support solar technology without the equipment.
