Installing solar is one of the most effective ways homeowners can lower their carbon footprint and save money. A typical home solar system can reduce emissions by 3–4 tons each year, about the same as planting over 100 trees.
Evansville residents have a few main options. A solar + battery system powers your home and stores extra energy for later use, helping you get the most value from what you produce. A solar hot water system is a lower-cost option that uses sunlight to heat water and reduce energy use.
There are also incentives to make solar more affordable. Indiana offers a 100% property tax exemption on added home value from solar and no sales tax on equipment. Non-profit partners like Solar United Neighbors also help connect residents, especially in underserved communities, with affordable solar options.
