Ann Arbor leads the state of Michigan in solar installations – and we love that! One way that many Ann Arbor residents are going solar is with “group buy solar programs” such as the community bulk-buy Solarize. Undoubtedly, these programs have positively contributed to Michigan’s renewable energy transformation.

 

Group buy solar programs are great. The Solarize program is a good thing! However, navigating through the complexities of group buys and choosing the right solar installation agency can be daunting for many homeowners. This is where Stellar Solar steps in, providing a more streamlined, concise, and affordable solar installation experience.

 

At Stellar Solar, we offer an easier and more affordable way to go solar. We offer an individual experience at equal or less cost than group buy programs like Solarize! We are Michigan’s most experienced solar and battery installer since 1998. All we ask is that you include us in your search. We think you will like our style.

What is the Solarize Program

The Solarize program, powered by the City of Ann Arbor’s A2ZERO carbon neutrality plan, uses the concept of collective buying, enabling significant savings for residents. The program teams up with local and regional solar installers and Michigan Saves’ green bank, promoting financing for green upgrades like solar installations.

The Federal Solar Tax Credit

The Federal Solar Tax Credit, (aka the Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit) is an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) designed to boost investments in renewable energy. This has been extended to 2034, and covers costs related to solar energy equipment and its installation. 

The amount qualified for the Solar Tax Credit depends on the total expenditure on your solar project and its completion date. The ITC can reduce your income tax liability by allowing you to use a portion of your solar power system’s cost as an income tax credit. Tax savings from an average solar installation could reach up to $7,500.

The exact percentage of your solar system cost that you can claim as a credit varies depending on the year your system was activated:

Michigan Solar Battery Installation

We provide a comprehensive range of options including premium products like Tesla PowerWall and Enphase batteries.

These sophisticated solutions serve a dual purpose. Firstly, they aid in offsetting the costs associated with Time-Of-Use charges by making self-consumption feasible. This simply means that you can store surplus solar energy during peak production times and use it when electricity costs are high, potentially resulting in significant savings.

Secondly, as power outages become increasingly common, these battery systems serve as a reliable fallback, ensuring that your home remains functional and safe. It’s reassuring to know that you can count on your solar battery backup to keep the lights on when the grid fails, and keep your family comfortable and secure, even during peak periods when electricity prices escalate.

Whether you already own a robust solar system and are now contemplating adding a backup battery, or if you are in the preliminary stages of establishing a fresh solar setup, Stellar Solar is ready to assist. Leveraging our in-depth expertise in renewable energy, we aim to ease and enrich your journey towards a more sustainable, self-reliant, and cost-effective energy lifestyle in Michigan.
