Going solar at home offers greater sustainability and the opportunity to offset increasingly expensive energy bills. If you take advantage of available incentives, you might also save a bundle of cash on your installation.
One homeowner took to r/solar to share their experience that saved them close to $30,000, and they could hardly contain their joy.
"My installer got my project completed and commissioned right before Christmas!" wrote the homeowner. "I'm so happy with the system and how aesthetically pleasing it looks."
They also shared photos of their entire system and their energy production.
