Does the Tiburon/Belvedere Area of Marin County have enough sunny days?

California is one of the sunniest states in the United States, and it also has roughly half of the nation's installed solar energy panels. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the Tiburon/Belvedere area in Marin County is an excellent location for investing in a residential photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system.

The Tiburon/Belvedere, Marin County, area typically sees 262 sunny days every year, with an average 80 days' worth of precipitation. If you want to power your home with solar energy, it's advantageous to live in this area because the substantial amount of sunlight will make a noticeable difference in your utility bills right away.

How well do solar panels work in the Tiburon/Belvedere area?

Because of the generous amount of sunlight in the area, for roughly 72% of an average year, solar panel installations in Tiburon/Belvedere, Marin County, can operate at peak efficiency on sunny days - a 28% increase over the rest of the country, which sees only 205 sunny days on average.

In fact, the state of California as a whole is generally one of the very best regions of the country to harness the power of solar energy because of its high levels of solar radiation, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Can I save money on energy costs in the Tiburon/Belvedere area?

One study found that solar panel installations on roofs reduced energy needed for air conditioning and cooling systems by 12%, which then reduces the "urban heat island" effect that impacts cities and towns with high amounts of concrete.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Tiburon/Belvedere area of Marin County has a high rate of urbanization. As a result, solar panel installations in this region are especially well-suited for business and homes looking to lower their AC costs and impact the climate in the region as a whole.

Investing in solar power in the Tiburon/Belvedere area grants you access to a federal tax credit up to 30%. Considering the high price of electricity and the abundance of sunshine, solar power becomes an excellent deal.

What are the Tax Breaks and Incentives for Going Solar in the Tiburon/Belvedere area?

A new solar panel installation in Tiburon/Belvedere, Marin County, may be eligible for several specific tax advantages and financing alternatives for both businesses and homes.

The Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit is a federal program that allows homeowners to claim a tax credit of up to 30% of the total "solar electric property" project cost. Labor, installation, charges, and system wiring can all be included in these costs.

An additional government program, the Business Energy Investment Tax Credit (B-ITC), offers a similar 30% tax credit incentive for some commercial systems built through the end of 2022, as well. The incentive value will decrease for every year after until the end of 2025, at which point the incentive will remain at 10% of project cost.

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

You may not be eligible for these financial benefits if you lease your solar panel system instead of purchasing it outright. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions about which solutions are best for you!

Determining what incentives you qualify for can be daunting. Fortunately, our specialists are here to help you navigate the murky waters of incentives. Learn more about them by contacting them today.
