Can I change my agreement type? (How I pay) #
Once you have solar panels installed on your home, you cannot make a change to your agreement type.
You may have weighed a few different agreement options when you signed up. If you’re reconsidering or need clarity on your options, reach out to your sales consultant or project coordinator.
We understand everyone has different situations and needs. Our experts are well-versed in the benefits associated with our options. We are here to help you figure out what’s best for you.
Should I buy insurance on my Off Grid Energy system? #
Not necessarily. Depending on where you live, there may be state regulations that require you to insure the system. When this is the case, we will make sure that you are aware of the regulations but you will be responsible for working with your insurance company.
In states where insurance is not required, we still recommend that you tell your insurance company that you are getting a home solar system. It is likely already covered under your current policy, and may not include any additional fees for coverage.
What’s the deal with solar tax credits? #
The availability of solar tax credits is dependent on the region you live in and the solar product that you invested in.
The federal solar tax credit gives you a dollar-for-dollar reduction against your federal income tax. The 26% tax credit applies as long as the home solar system is installed by December 31, 2022. Starting in 2023, the value of the tax credit will step down to 22%. After 2023, the tax credit for residential solar ends.
State or utility tax incentives vary depending on the region you reside in. To learn more about policies and incentives in your region, check out the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency website.
What happens at the end of a Off Grid Energy lease agreement? #
When you reach the end of your Off Grid Energy agreement, you have three options:
1. You can purchase the solar system at fair market value (excluding New York homeowners).
2. You can renew your lease with us on an annual basis.
3. Off Grid Energy can remove the system at no cost to you.
When you reach the end of your agreement, Customer Support will help you move forward.
