I heard on the news that people can reduce up-front costs through tax breaks and incentives. Is that true in Sausalito?

It's worth looking into. When you install a solar system in Sausalito, Marin County, you may be eligible to receive several tax benefits and financing options for both homes and businesses. Check out these incentives to see if you qualify:

  • 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 Marin 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.

To discover more savings and incentives available to you, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.

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

Does the amount of available sunlight make it worth investing in solar panels in Sausalito, Marin County?

Because it's located in one of America's sunniest states, a PV solar panel system in Sausalito, California, is a solid investment.

Sausalito's bright, bayside climate produces 256 sunny days throughout the year, creating ideal conditions to power your home from the sun. To learn more about how to take advantage of the savings that solar power offers, talk to a specialist in solar energy.

In Sausalito, can solar panels produce a lot of power?

Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into power. As Sausalito has plentiful sunshine to transform into electricity, the number of solar panels that you install is what determines how much electricity your roof produces. Due to the abundance of sunlight, solar panels in Sausalito, Marin County, can produce peak efficiency for approximately 70% of an average year. This is 25% greater than the national average.

Actually, California is one of the best places in the United States to harness solar energy. According to the U.S Energy Information Administration, the area receives ample sunshine all year.

Is a solar panel system going to reduce my electric bill in Sausalito?

Yes, a solar panel installation can be a sound investment. One study revealed that you can reduce the amount of energy required for home heating and cooling systems by 12% by going solar.

Installing solar panels can also help you save money every month. The savings really add up once you recover the installation cost through your lower electricity costs. You could see even more financial benefits if you decided to sell your Sausalito home. Solar panels tend to increase the value of houses, so your realtor will likely set a higher asking price if you put your house on the market.
