Your Trusted Napa Wine Country Solar Company

To create electricity from sunlight, solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells. The number of solar panels that you can install and the amount of sunlight they are exposed to will determine how much electricity your roof produces. Because Napa Wine Country, Napa County, is bathed in sunlight, solar panel systems here can produce top efficiency for approximately 71% of an average year. That's 27% more power than the national average.

Actually, according to the U.S Energy Information Administration, California is one of the most promising regions in the United States for harnessing solar energy because it receives abundant solar rays throughout the year.

Indeed, solar panels prove to be a cost-effective investment. Researchers found that installing solar panels on roofs reduces energy required for home heating and cooling systems by 12%. The savings through lower electricity costs become quite significant once you have recovered the installation expenses.

Besides spending 12% less each month on utilities, solar panels can also set you up to make a profit if you decide to sell your house. If you decide to sell your Napa Wine Country home, you will be able to set a higher asking price than on a comparable home without the solar advantage.

There are a lot of tax breaks and financial incentives available to help make solar panels more affordable. When you install a solar system in Napa Wine Country, Napa County, you may be eligible for several tax benefits and financing options for both homes and businesses.

• The Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit is a federal program that allows homeowners to claim a tax credit up to 30% of their total "solar property" project costs, including labor and system wiring.
• A second government program, the Business Energy Investment Tax Credit (B-ITC), offers a 30% tax credit incentive to qualifying commercial systems that were built before 2022. From the beginning of 2022, the incentive value will decline every year through the end of 2025. From then on, the incentive will be 10% of the solar project installation costs.
• The Napa County Energy Independence Program allows owners to purchase "renewable electrical improvements" - such as solar energy systems - that cost up to 10% of your property's value. The financing will be repaid at a fixed interest rate of 7% over a period of 10 or 20 years.

Please note that these financial benefits may not be applicable if you lease your solar panel system instead of purchasing it outright.
