What are the current incentives available to me if I go solar?
In Washington State, there is zero sales tax on any solar installation meaning you automatic save anywhere from 8%-10%. The Federal Income Tax incentive is available to anyone who pays federal taxes or has a tax liability. It's 30% of the total cost of your solar system.
How will this affect my property value?
Studies have shown that houses with solar panels sell quickly and for more than asking. This allows the new homeowner to potentially spend more if the energy bills are less or net zero.
