Solar electric systems help homeowners manage their utility bills. Using solar with backup storage (batteries and/or generators) provides backup power and security when the grid is unreliable. Southern View Energy has been providing safe and cost-effective residential solar electric systems design and installation services to homeowners throughout Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina since 2009. From start to finish, we will guide you through the details that will make your solar energy investment a success.
Reasons Why Solar Energy Makes Sense for Homeowners
Reduces Your Power Bill
Generating energy from a roof or ground mount installation reduces your electric bill from the moment the system is turned on. This insulates you from increases in future energy costs. Residential electric rates are rapidly rising and this trend is likely to continue over the coming years.
Tax Incentives
The federal 30% tax incentive defrays the cost for those with tax liability. The tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit. The money you would have spent on taxes pays for a portion of your solar installation. If you do not have enough tax liability in the year you install, it rolls into the next year until it is depleted.

Reliable Power
Weather related or power company related, the grid is not always reliable. Families prefer to have lights and outlets working, the ability to charge their phones and computers, and the food in their fridges and freezers kept unspoiled. Combining solar panels with batteries or a generator will produce power until the grid is restored.
Clean Energy Source
Electricity produced from a solar electric power system is a clean, quiet energy source that reduces dependence on fossil fuels. It manages your carbon footprint, allowing you to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle.
Added Resale Value
Solar is a transferrable asset that adds value to your home for resale. Wouldn’t you prefer a home that has lower utility bills? Additionally, residential solar power electric systems pay for themselves over time! What other home investment does that?
