How Residential Solar Energy Works for You

Solar photovoltaic (pv) panels work by absorbing sunlight with pv cells, generating direct current (DC) energy and then converting it to usable alternating current (AC) electricity with the help of inverter technology.

This electricity then flows through the home’s electrical panel and is distributed accordingly to power your electronic devices in real time.

Excess electricity produced by solar pv panels is fed through a bi-directional meter that keeps track of the kilowatt hours you are shipping back to the grid in a process called Net Metering. As a result, you will receive a credit from the utility company and use these credits in the winter months when your solar system is not producing as much power.

Why Buy Now?

 

The Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit offers 30% off your home solar installation.

New York State grants are built in blocks of funds, once that block is used up the grant money steps down. Click here to view what is remaining in the current block.

This 30% solar tax credit was established by The Energy Policy Act of 2005 and provided incentives for solar electric and other renewable energy systems, both residential and commercial. The tax credit has been extremely helpful in expanding the adoption of clean solar energy in the US. In fact, solar installations have grown by over 1,600% since the federal solar tax credit was implemented in 2006 – that’s a compound annual growth rate of 76%.

Take full advantage of these tax savings. It is easy. Here is the IRS Form 5695. Simply add your solar tax credit amount to your standard form 1040.

I don’t usually leave many business reviews, but 3rd ROC did well by me and thought I’d share. I was very skeptical of solar in general, so I asked way too many questions, but they took the time to thoroughly answer them all.

Once we signed the agreement, 3rd ROC took care of the rest. The process was smooth and a lot easier than I expected.

The installation team was great too; professional, quick, and responsive.

My array has been active for 2 months now, and so far so good with production.

Stephen was great to work with. He walked me through the process and answered all the questions I had. They took care of securing all of the permits and the work was done faster than they had originally estimated. The finished system is clean and professional looking. Since completion, Stephen has remained responsive to my inquiries, and always answers very promptly. Overall, I’m very happy with the 3rd ROC team and would recommend them for anyone looking to do a home solar installation.

I wanted to go solar for years and I had several estimates but 3rd Roc was not just the best price from the beginning. Mike came out to the house and was amazing and professional. Then when it came to the permits the team again was amazing to help get everything approved. On install day that team was professional and worked hard to get everything done cleaned up and made sure to keep door closed to not let cats out. I could not be happier with my system but I am also even more impressed by the 3rd Roc Solar team. I never do these reviews just the fact that I did shows how good the team at 3rd Roc it!!
