Think Solar, Think - Carolina Energy Conservation!
Solar Energy is Efficient and Affordable! Renewable energy is readily available on both a local and global scale. As a local owned and operated provider of renewable energy, Carolina Energy Conservation specializes in solar energy systems and installations. Sunlight can be used to generate electricity via a solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
Why Solar?
Solar Energy is such an ideal solution to power a home because it benefits both the individual and the environment. Solar energy allows you to keep your home energy efficient and help eliminate your electic bill.
It also greatly reduces pollution and carbon emissions, meaning you can do your part to protect the earth!
Advantages of Solar!
- Going Solar Helps The Environment!
- The Solar industry has reduced carbon emission by so much that it's the eqivalent of planting about 956 million trees. Carolina Energy Conservation is focused on benefiting both our customers and the planet as a whole. Upgrading to a residential solar power system will not only help you live with better energy efficiency and lower utility bills, it will also make a significant difference in protecting the environment from pollution and global warming.
- Reduces Air Pollution
- Fossil fuels, the most common energy source today, release harmful carbon dioxide and methane emissions into the environment. Not only are these substances leading contributors to global warming, they also result in decreased air quality. By contrast, when solar panels are used to generate electricity, this alternative energy source does not produce any air pollution at all.
- Reduces Water Pollution
- Natural gas and coal-fired energy facilities, which provide most of the electrical energy we use, require huge amounts of water in order to operate. Near-continuous water circulation is necessary for their cooling requirements. Furthermore, groundwater contamination and pollution of local water resources near these facilities are all too common. Solar panels do not need any water to generate electricity, which means that solar energy will never pollute local water resources or cause a strain on local water supplies.
- Saves finite resources
- Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source which will eventually run out - once they're gone, they're gone for good. Even before that happens, as fossil fuel resources become scarcer, they will become much more expensive to find and extract. Solar energy, on the other hand, is completely renewable and inexhaustible. The sun is the most abundant energy source we have, so why not take advantage of this free and renewable resource?
Tax Incentives For Solar Energy
In order to help people make the switch to solar panels, many incentives and rebates are available when you install a new solar panel in South Carolina. Here are some of the tax incentives available to you:
- South Carolina State Tax Credit: One time 25% tax rebate
- Santee Cooper: $1.60 per watt rebate (limits may apply)
- US Federal Tax Credit: One time 30% tax rebate
Solar Panel and Solar Photovoltaic Options
There are two types of solar energy systems that are most common amongst homeowners in South Carolina. A grid-connected solar PV system connects your home to solar energy while still allowing you to use electricity from your local utilities provider if need be. If you provide more electricity than you use, you'll be eligible for retail credit by feeding this energy back to your utilities provider.
The second type of solar PV system is called a grid-connected critical load battery backup system. This system operates the same way as a typical solar panel setup, except that it's also designed to work in the event of a power outage or failure from your local utilities provider. Basically, this system is a normal energy source and a generator all in one. We install Tesla, Sonnen, and LG solar energy battery backups throughout Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, and surrounding areas.
Choosing a System That's Right For You
The following steps will provide a simple way to determine if renewable energy is a smart decision for you:
- Ensure Energy Efficiency First - Long before you consider any kind of solat installation, you'll want to make certain that your home is properly insulated and air-sealed. By reducing home energy consumption, you'll be able to avoid wasting any of the renewable energy you produce. Carolina Energy Conservation can perform a comprehensive home insulation examination to determine your home's energy performance, allowing you to make the necessary upgrades.
- Make Sure Your Home Is Evaluated For A Solar System Installation - Many homes can easily accept a wood or pellet stove, however, this is not true for a solar PV system. By evaulating your site, Carolina Energy Conservation can determine the best solution for a date information concerning state and federal incentives for energy efficiency improvements.
- Have Carolina Energy Conservation Install Your Solar System - We can handle the entire installation process, from beginning to end!
