Discount Solar Panels
How can you save money on solar panels?
Solar panels are a major investment for your home, but there are several ways to make a solar system less expensive. First, you’ll be able to take the federal solar tax credit, claiming up to 30% of the cost of your system. There are also great state and local programs offering rebates as well (check out your city on our solar cities page, or look at this federal database of incentives). Your utility may offer rebates, too. Many states now have SREC programs that let you earn credits for generating renewable energy that you can sell for hundreds of dollars. There’s also another way to save gigantic amounts off the initial pricetag of your solar system: discounts from bulk purchasing. That’s where 1BOG comes in.
Discounts from bulk purchasing
By gathering together a big group of homeowners in a community who are interested in getting solar power, 1BOG is able to negotiate large discounts from solar installers. We choose the best installer based on their experience, quality, and competitiveness, and then we get the best price for you.
The installer saves money because they don’t have to invest in marketing to find new customers. We carefully work with interested homeowners to make sure that only those who are truly ready to go solar end up meeting with installers, so the installation companies are able to save money that way, too. Because several homes in an area will get solar panels at the same time, the installer is able to work more efficiently.
The total savings is huge, and gets passed on to consumers: typically, people save around 15%! That’s a lot of cash when you’re talking about a big investment like solar panels. Contact us for more info, or sign up to become a 1BOG member (it’s free!).
