Solar Panels and Mini-Split system

Installing mini-split air conditioning systems along with solar panels can be a smart and energy-efficient choice for several reasons:

  1. Energy Efficiency:
    • Mini-split systems are known for their energy efficiency compared to traditional HVAC systems. They use inverter technology, which allows them to adjust their output based on the cooling or heating needs of the room, thus consuming less energy.
  2. Solar Offset:
    • Solar panels can generate clean and renewable energy from the sun. When you have solar panels installed, you can offset the electricity costs associated with running your mini-split system. This means that during sunny periods, the energy needed to cool or heat your space can be supplied by the solar panels, reducing your reliance on the grid.
  3. Environmental Benefits:
    • Combining solar panels with mini-split systems helps reduce the overall carbon footprint of your home. By utilizing renewable energy from the sun, you decrease the reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution.
  4. Cost Savings:
    • Over time, the combination of solar panels and energy-efficient mini-split systems can result in significant cost savings on your electricity bills. While the initial installation costs may be higher, the long-term savings and potential incentives or rebates can make it a financially sound investment.
  5. Off-Grid Capability:
    • In some cases, if your solar panel system is designed with energy storage (batteries), you may have the ability to operate your mini-split system even during periods of low sunlight or at night. This adds a level of resilience and potential for off-grid living.
  6. Zoning and Individual Control:
    • Mini-split systems often provide zoning capabilities, allowing you to control the temperature in individual rooms or zones. This can lead to more efficient use of energy, as you can heat or cool only the areas that are in use.

Before proceeding with such installations, it’s essential to conduct a thorough energy audit of your home to determine the appropriate size and capacity of both the mini-split system and the solar panel array. Additionally, local regulations, incentives, and the availability of sunlight in your area should be considered for optimal results. Consulting with a professional HVAC and SGE Solar can help you make informed decisions tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Commercial Solar in 2023

Going Solar in 2023

We’ve never seen anything like it.  The Inflation Reduction Act has enacted Federal Tax Credits for Solar that increase previous amounts by 100% in some cases.

Many of our clients are enjoying 50% tax credits.  When combined with depreciation, those tax credits result in tax shields covering 75% of a system’s cost.

The Dept of the Treasury has released guidance on the tax credits and various adders that create the pathway to retaining these tax credits

Call or email us now to set up your no-cost consultation and see if your site can capitalize on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Unprecedented Tax Breaks

The investment Tax Credit has been increased from 26% to 30%, and may now be transferred or sold to other taxpayers. The 30% applies to both business and residential projects, including projects installed in 2023, and will last until the end of 2032.

Energy storage projects were previously ineligible for tax credits unless they were connected directly to solar power projects. The Inflation Reduction Act removes these requirements and allows energy storage projects to receive the same 30% tax credit, even if they are stand-alone facilities. Batteries connected to a solar power project will continue to qualify for the credit, even if they are no longer being charged by solar power.

Interconnection costs will also be included in the tax credit, for projects smaller than 5 MWac.
