The ITC is a driving force behind increased solar adoption in the United States. Since its implementation in 2006, solar installation has grown by over 1600% with an average annual growth rate of 76%. The tax credit is available for purchased solar systems and is worth 26% of the cost of the system, which is paid back to the homeowner and determined by the amount of the individual’s taxable income that year.
Net metering is a utility billing system that will credit homeowners for any excess electricity that their solar system produces. The excess power is sent back into the grid for community use through a bidirectional meter. The credits provided are meant to supplement the homeowner’s energy use at night or when it’s cloudy when the system isn’t producing as much.
Due to the Solar and CHP Sales Tax Exemption, you are not charged sales tax when you purchase a solar energy system. This is a 6% savings on what you’d have to pay on something else you purchase.
Florida’s Property Tax Exclusion for Residential Renewable Energy Property eliminates any increase in property taxes after solar installation, even though solar increases your home’s resale value by $3.00-$4.00 per watt. It’s a nice extra perk!

As one of the cheapest forms of electricity across the United States, solar dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is proven to help slow climate change. According to the EPA, an average 8.6kW home solar system takes 9,606 pounds of CO2 out of the air each year. That's the same as 50 trees.
The Energy Information Administration (eia.gov) reports that utility rates are rising year over year. Big Wave Solar provides price protection throughout the length of your agreement, so you know what you’ll be paying today, tomorrow, and for the next two decades. Enjoy peace of mind in knowing your rates will never spike – it’s more valuable than you may realize.
Purchasing your home solar system allows you to take advantage of the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Solar power system owners are eligible for this tax credit which is worth 30% of the total cost of the system through the end of 2022. After 2022, the percentage will decrease each year and then expire completely for residential solar systems purchased after 2023.
We offer zero upfront costs in all of the states we operate ─ and in most cases, you won’t ever have to pay anything out-of-pocket, depending on the financial agreement you choose. All you’ll have to pay is a lower electricity bill. Our flexible finance options include leasing, loans or purchasing your home solar system.
