Making the switch to solar energy has many advantages, with the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) probably having the greatest impact on installing solar panels in Alabama. Thanks to the ITC, you are entitled to a tax credit equal to 26 percent of the total cost of your system.
Other financial benefits you can gain when choosing solar over traditional electricity include:
• Decrease in utility bills due to the generation of free power
• Protection against future surges in electricity costs
• Increase in property value because homes with solar energy systems sell for more
• Return on investment as solar panel systems pay for themselves over time
