Big Bear can maximize the benefits of solar
Big Bear is one of the best places to take advantage of the fast growing solar energy movement.
Big Bear as one of the nicest suburban cities in California is one of the best places to invest in solar power for your home. With the amount of sunlight homes in Big Bear and the average energy consumption of most homes makes it a great place to go solar.
With the recent power outages from Southern California Edison (SCE) that have impacted Big Bear, there is no better way to protect your home from the recent power outages than with a solar energy system with a battery backup solution. With the steadily increasing electricity rate increases from SCE and high amount of exposure from the sun, homeowners in Big Bear should go solar.

Although there are numerous reasons to go solar, most homeowners make the switch after seeing the recent savings on their electricity bills. Solar panels for your home or business can save you a lot of money by converting the high amount of sunlight that Big Bear receives into usable energy that can power your refrigerator, hair dryer, washer and other household items.
Big Bear as one of the best suburban cities means that homeowners care about the equity and value of their homes.

If you're looking to purchase your solar energy system vs. lease, you may be eligible for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), more commonly referred to as the Federal Tax Credit. The tax credit provides a benefit for both home owners and businesses alike to go solar. We recommend that you consult with your tax professional about your eligibility to receive a tax credit or rebate when you do purchase a solar energy system.
Solar Pro Tip: Federal Tax Credit is only eligible for individuals who own their solar panel system. Does not qualify with a solar lease or Power Purchase Agreement.
Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 26% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2020.
Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 22% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2021.
Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 10% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2022.

Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 26% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2020.
Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 22% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2021.
Federal Solar Tax Credit equal to 10% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2022.
A fixed tax credit rate of 10% will stay in place for installing a solar power systems installed in 2023 and beyond for commercial.
The amount of the Federal Solar ITC can be calculated easily. Simply take the tax percentage for that year, and multiply it by the solar system installation cost. For instance, if your solar energy system costs $25,000 and is installed in 2022, your tax credit would be $25,000 x 10%= $2,500. If you install your solar energy system in 2020, for the same system, your tax credit would be $25,000 x 26%= $6,500. That means there is a $4,000 difference if you went solar in 2020 vs 2022 for the same system. We advise that you check with your tax professional regarding the tax credit or rebate when purchasing your solar energy system.
By considering a solar lease or Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you will see a home improvement that will save you on electricity costs by replacing your more expensive bill with a smaller one. Imagine if SCE offered a 20 year, 35% discount on your electricity costs, would you take it? Installing a solar energy system on your home or business is the best way to save money on your monthly electricity bills and increase the equity of your property.
Best of all, you don't have to worry about maintenance.
