Solar is a good option for many but not all homes in our area! If you the sun hits your roof for a good portion of the day than more than likely you would be a good candidate for solar; however, if you are surrounded by trees and your home stays shaded most of the day a ground mount might be a better option or possibly trimming some trees. Whatever the situation the experts at Revolt Energy will help guide you and make sure you get the best option for you!

Revolt Energy uses your previous power bill and gets the usage for the last 12 months (information provided on bill). Then after putting this information into our computer software, we can place panels digitally on your home to estimate how much annual power they will produce. The software takes into account many factors including the location and orientation of the panels as well as 25 years of weather data to give us an accurate estimate of the power your individual system will produce.

No, solar is not free. It can be a money saving reallocation of the money you are already spending on power. Often we can start saving you money as soon as your system is operational!

While the “sticker price” for solar can sometimes be overwhelming, it varies widely on an individual basis. Often, we can design a system that you can finance for no more or even less money than what you are currently paying for electricity. This means no up-front cost and no more rate increases for the electric company.

Not everyone qualifies for the tax credits, as it is a credit not a rebate (unless you are church, nonprofit, municipality, and a few others). This means if you are a W2 paid employee you can likely claim the tax credits, the credits will be taken away from your tax liability resulting in a refund at tax time. If you are unsure if you qualify you can reach out to us, and we can go over the process.

When you finance solar you get a low fixed monthly payment that will cover a portion or all of your energy usage. This payment is often lower than what you are currently paying for power creating instant savings on your monthly bills. Even if the payment is not lower or a little higher there are still long-term savings to be had, because unlike the utility your payment for power does not go up! Speaking from personal experience when I went solar about 4 years ago, I was saving an average of $10 a month, fast forward to today and I’m saving over $50 a month because the utility has gone up that much!

Solar is a great option for businesses! It can reduce operating costs, creating a larger cash flow. Businesses are eligible for even more tax benefits than a residential system and are sometimes eligible for grants.

Net metering is a program set up with the power company to allow you to measure the power flowing into the home from their lines as well as the power being sent from the home to them. Net metering laws can vary from state to state, but in WV you get a full credit on your bill for any power sent back out to the power company and are only billed for the difference in what you pull from them and what you send out.

Not everyone qualifies for the tax credits, as it is a credit not a rebate (unless you are church, nonprofit, municipality, and a few others). This means if you are a W2 paid employee you can likely claim the tax credits, the credits will be taken away from your tax liability resulting in a refund at tax time. If you are unsure if you qualify you can reach out to us, and we can go over the process. If you are a for-profit business, you should qualify for tax incentives as well as being able to claim depreciation of the asset! Non-profits, churches, municipalities, and some others could be eligible for a direct pay option of the incentives.

Revolt Energy offers a wide range of options from grid tied, to hybrid, and off grid. The most common systems are strictly grid tied, meaning they do not have batteries and therefore do not offer power during an outage. These systems are the most affordable and offer the most return on investment/savings over the life of the system. If you live in an area that is not prone to prolonged outages this is definitely your best option; however, if you do have the need for backup power during an outage, we can evaluate your needs and design the best system for you and your budget!
