You deserve a better deal on energy.
Zenernet can help you get it.
Most homeowners are very familiar with the idea of comparison shopping. With nearly everything we buy – groceries, mobile phones, home and auto insurance, and more – we do our research and weigh the value of certain products and services with their costs.
Home energy has long presented a gap in homeowners’ ability to comparison shop. In most cases, homeowners simply have to connect with the utility that services their area and pay the rate that utility assigns.
With Zenernet, homeowners have the ability to comparison shop their utility. Going solar can save you money on energy, allow you to use more without fearing dramatic bill spikes, and protect you from arbitrary rate increases.

Turn your roof into a valuable asset.
Investing in solar carries benefits aside from the money you’ll keep in your pocket and out of the hands of your utility. Going solar gives you a valuable asset that increases the value of your home and can help it sell faster.
According to a recent Zillow study, homes with solar installed gain about 4.1% in value. At the median American home value of $226,000, that’s a premium of more than $9,000. In many areas of the country, this increase in home value is even more dramatic, and as the cost of power continues to climb, home buyers will pay even higher premiums for homes with solar already installed.
After factoring in incentives like the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), most homeowners can expect at least to recoup their solar investment upon the sale of their home.
Zillow’s findings are corroborated by studies from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Berkely Lab.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INCENTIVES
GET MONEY BACK BY GOING SOLAR
You could be eligible for great incentives to go solar, including the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit, which puts 26% of the value of a new solar system back in the homeowner’s pockets.
Menu
Get paid to go solar.
There are a number of incentive programs available to homeowners who go solar in 2020. These incentives are managed at the federal, state, and local levels.
One of the most valuable and well-known solar incentives is the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit, which offers homeowners a tax credit worth 26 percent of the value of a solar system installed in 2021. If the amount of the tax credit exceeds a homeowner’s tax liability for the year, the excess value can be rolled over for up to 5 years.
FEDERAL SOLAR INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT (ITC)
Earn a federal tax credit worth 26 percent of the value of the system when you go solar by the end of 2022 – the ITC was slated to step down in value at the end of 2020 but was extended by Congress.
SOLAR RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS (SRECs)
Homeowners in some states can participate in SREC programs and earn credits based on the production of their system, which can then be sold on a secondary market for cash.
STATE & LOCAL INCENTIVES
Many other solar incentives are offered at the state and local level – your city or municipality may offer incentives to go solar. Our expert energy consultants can help you find incentive programs you’re eligible for.
Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) are additional incentives available in many states and utilities. For homeowners in eligible areas, SRECs offer an additional financial incentive beyond savings generated by solar energy production and the ITC. Homeowners are awarded SRECs based on the amount of energy produced by their system, and can then sell those credits on an exchange for a cash payment.
SRECs are a way for utility companies to comply with requirements to generate a certain amount of renewable energy. States with SREC programs include Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Many states, municipalities, and utilities offer additional incentives for homeowners who go solar. These incentives typically come in the form of tax credits, rebates, or production-based credits or cash payments.

AVOID OUTAGES
Live more comfortably.
One of the primary reasons to gain energy independence is to enjoy more of the comforts of modern electricity, guilt-free and worry-free. Many homeowners know what it’s like to swelter through the summer, hesitant to turn the thermostat down a few more ticks to a comfortable level for fear of an eye-popping bill at the end of the month.
Going solar is a great way to lift the burden of energy budgeting from your shoulders. You’ll get a better deal on energy, allowing you to use more of it for a similar or lower cost. This means a more comfortable lifestyle without the increased bills you’d expect by going through the utility.
Become less reliant on your utility.
Utilities generate the vast majority of the power they produce centrally – the power is generated at a plant far away from the homes it powers, and is carried to homes through a complex system of power lines and transformers. This makes utility power susceptible to outages, both planned and unplanned.
Many utilities in the United States have struggled financially in recent years, and have become increasingly unreliable in terms of delivering power to homeowners. Blackouts and planned outages have become a common nuisance in many areas of the country.
Going solar is a major step in reducing reliance on utilities. Especially when coupled with add-ons like batteries and generators, solar installations can give you immunity to the problems inherent to centrally-generated grid systems. If you live in an area where grid outages and blackouts are a concern, it’s well worth a conversation with one of our expert energy consultants to evaluate how solar can help alleviate that concern.
