The Self-Generation Incentive Plan, or SGIP, offers solar savings and refunds for eligible distributed energy installations on the customer side of the utility meter. One of the often offered solar energy incentives is the SGIP refund, albeit it might be challenging to be eligible. 

The advantages and the savings are the two most important factors for a prospective consumer regarding solar energy. While we have previously covered the vast array of benefits of solar energy and will continue to do so today, we wanted to focus on something related to savings. 

For individuals who want to transition to solar energy, many federal and state alternatives are available, and part of our work is to assist you to be eligible for as many of those changes as possible. To help you obtain your custom-fitted solar system at a price that works for you, we prefer to consider ourselves mentors regarding solar saving. 

Not all solar savings are equal. While we think any program that assists you in entering the solar industry is good, some are significantly simpler to qualify for than others. As an illustration, consider the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). One of the most effective solar savings tools accessible to home investors is the ITC, and this credit has encouraged many people to convert to solar electricity. 

Even though solar is still a fantastic investment without the tax credits provided by the ITC, this scheme nevertheless lowers the entrance threshold for solar more than before. The solar business has grown by more than 10,000% across the nation over the past 15 years, thanks to this credit, which is a strong motivation for individuals in the sector.
