Why Idaho Solar Power?

Own Your Power

Think of the benefits of owning vs renting. For example, when you pay a mortgage for your home you are building equity and setting yourself up for long-term success. When you pay rent to a landlord, you are building their equity with no return for yourself. With Idaho Solar Power, you become an owner of the grid and your power, which builds your equity rather than lining your power company’s pockets.

How Much Value Can Solar Add to My Property?

Invest In Your Home

The allure of short-term savings on your power bill attracts many homeowners to solar, but a well overlooked benefit of going solar is the long-term financial benefits to your home. The immediate savings of course add up, with average homeowners in Idaho saving over $11,400 over the lifetime of their solar system, studies have shown that overall home valuation can jump up by 4.1% for homes with solar panels installed.

Tax Credits and Incentives

Looking at the tax credits available to owners of solar in Idaho from a general perspective is positive. There are two major tax credits that can be claimed in Idaho are the Residential Alternative Tax Deduction and the Idaho Solar Power Tax Credit. These tax credits can be claimed on your income taxes as a direct percentage of your solar installation costs. However, not these tax credits may not make sense for everybody. Since financial situations are so unique, it’s important to speak with your tax professional first.

How do solar panels work?
Understanding solar panel operation is important when determining if solar is right for you. When sunlight hits the solar panels on your roof, they turn the sun's energy into electricity for your home. This electricity, whether from the solar panels or the utility company, powers your home just like usual. The solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity, which goes to an inverter. The process of solar power conversion begins when an inverter converts DC into the type of electricity your home uses, called alternating current (AC). AC powers your everyday appliances. The electricity flows from the inverter to your home's electrical system, providing power.
