Ohio: the land of eight U.S. presidents, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a burgeoning solar industry. A combination of expensive utility rates (which raised over 100% in 2023!), solar tax credits, and state mandated net-metering means Ohio homeowners can save a lot of money by installing solar panels on their homes.
Ohio homeowners who qualify for solar can save over $1,200+/year on energy costs.
All you need to do is fill out some basic details, like your ZIP code and average bill amount, and you'll see: estimated lifetime savings, how many panels you need, and the environmental impact of you going solar. All that’s left is getting your final quotes and approving your system design. It’s really that easy.
Homeowners have saved an average of $50-200/mo on energy costs
Are Solar Panels Worth It In Ohio?
Solar renewable energy has never been cheaper, falling more than 80% in the last 10 years. With significant solar rebates, the 30% federal tax credit, and many Ohio utilities doubling rates in 2023, solar panels are an excellent investment for any Ohio home. Solar panels offer a return well above the long term average from both the stock market and also property investment.
A combination of federal and state programs also make it possible to go solar for no cost upfront and get paid for clean energy you produce. On average, homeowners can expect to save $50-200 per month over the lifetime of their system.
Cost of Solar vs Cost of Power Company
Another way to look at if solar is worth it is to compare the average amount you will pay for power over the next 25 years with and without solar panels. Solar has a fixed rate that never increases, while power companies raise their rates annually. As you can see below, the power company is almost 3x more expensive than solar power.
