Calculating Solar Costs
Calculating solar costs is best completed with a trained local professional but a solar estimate can be started with this easy solar calculator, which will estimate system size, system costs, expected cost-savings, available incentives and tax credits, more.
Trade, Professional, and Nonprofit Organizations can provide solar cost calculations.
Tax Credits & SRECs
Solar incentives and financing can come from many sources depending on your particular project.
The Solar Over Louisville campaign seeks to promote the available $500 residential Kentucky state tax credit and the $1,000 commercial federal tax credit that will help homeowners and businesses consider the opportunities solar power generation presents among various other opportunities.
Financing Your System
Financing your solar system is easier than ever. When loans are able to be acquired the Solar Over Louisville campaign seeks to build systems where the payment on the note is less expensive than your current monthly electrical bill.
Once the loan is paid off, which in some instances is less than 10 years, the financial benefit is repeated throughout the life of the system.
