WHy Should You Think About Solar For Your Home?
3 Benefits to Residential Solar Installation
Save Money and Offset Electricity Bill
1. Save Money with Home Solar Installation
Many home solar installation projects can significantly reduce—or even fully offset—your monthly electricity bill. During our process, we evaluate your roof size, sun exposure, shading, and energy usage to design a solar system that maximizes energy production for your home.
By generating your own power, solar installation for homeowners helps reduce reliance on the utility grid and lower long-term electricity costs.
Start Creating Your Own Energy
2. Energy Independence
One of the biggest advantages of residential solar installation is the ability for homeowners to produce their own electricity. By generating power directly from the sun, home solar installation reduces reliance on utility companies and protects homeowners from rising electricity rates.
With a properly designed solar system, your home can produce a large portion of the energy it needs each day. This increased energy independence gives homeowners more control over their energy usage, creates more predictable energy costs, and provides long-term stability in an unpredictable energy market.
Get a Tax Incentive
3. Tax Incentive
One of the biggest financial benefits of residential solar installation is the availability of federal tax incentives that significantly reduce the upfront cost of going solar. Homeowners who install a qualifying solar energy system may be eligible for the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which allows you to claim a percentage of the total installation cost as a credit on your federal taxes.
This tax incentive can make home solar installation much more affordable while increasing the long-term return on your investment. Combined with lower monthly electricity bills, these incentives help homeowners recover the cost of their solar system faster while enjoying decades of clean, renewable energy.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
3. Support The Environment
One of the key benefits of residential solar installation is helping homeowners reduce their environmental impact. By generating clean, renewable electricity from the sun, home solar installation decreases reliance on energy produced by fossil fuels, which helps lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Choosing residential solar installation allows homeowners to power their homes with sustainable energy while contributing to a cleaner environment. Over time, solar energy helps reduce your household’s carbon footprint and supports a more sustainable future for your community and the planet.

EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Posted on Lydia GreeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire team was very easy and enjoyable to work with. Outstanding communication. We are delighted to be up and running with our solar!Posted on Josh LentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had quite a bit of work on our house in the past year and have had half a dozen contractors working on various projects. By far, Porter Electric was the easiest contractor to deal with and also the contractor that we had the most confidence in. The communication was great from the initial quote to the final approvals. The workmanship is top notch and we have had zero issues with the system. We are so happy with the results that we have reached out to them for another project.Posted on Gavin BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Porter Electrical taking care of our solar installation. Good price, excellent work, and a smooth process. We highly recommend them.Posted on Doris JurissonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Porter Electric was great to work with. I would use them again and have referred them to a friend. They communicated well, answered all our questions and handled all the paperwork and permitting. We have a historic house so worried about how the panels would look and they did a great job. They also had the best price per KWh.Posted on Mary LaRockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love my solar installation!! I have had 3 months this summer with my electric bill being $0. So far everything has been working perfectly! No problems or issues whatsoever. I’m very pleased with my system.Posted on Chris HebertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Porter to anyone, their expertise and attention to detail are top notch! They take the time to do things right and take pride in it and that's hard to find these days.Posted on peter vTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our solar system install was just completed and the crew did an amazing job. Both with the quality of work and the site clean up. Also, I asked many questions as the install was underway and they were all received and responded to in a timely and useful manner. Could not have asked for a more professional crew. This install was done in Chichester NH and I would highly recommend Porter Electric for any of your solar and electrical needs. Schedules were kept and completion was done on time as promised. The office staff at Porter was also very helpful and guided us thru the process from start to finish.Posted on Kyle PepinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, would recommend to friends and family!Posted on Bill GoldsworthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris Porter and his team at Porter Electric were excellent to work with. They worked with us to optimize a 10.2 kW system with 2 Enphase batteries for backup electricity. Outlaying a substantial initial investment, finding the right installer who is knowledgeable, and trusting the project would not run into unknown issues was a large concern for our family. From initial contact through the design and build process, Porter Electric exceeded our expectations. Communication was constant, thorough, and helped allay the concerns we may have had. Their work was efficient, and their crew was exceptionally clean with their work. They answered all of our questions and helped us understand everything about our system. After installation, we experienced a delay in meter installation through our electric supplier. However, Tara and the team of professionals at Porter Electric remained in contact with our electric supplier to keep our project moving forward. We are not only generating the power we use every day, but we are also returning to the grid the extra 30% we have been producing. We highly recommend Porter Electric for your solar and electrical needs.Posted on Raymond E. Leavitt JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

FAQs About Residential Solar
If you have a roof that has asphalt shingles that are 10 years old or more your roof should be replaced before installation. Porter electrical service reps will check your roof and surrounding foliage in person to determine whether there’s too much shade or other obstacles to hinder the solar panel installation process.
The ideal size of your solar energy system depends on your electricity usage and how much sun your roof gets and among other things. Look at past electric bills and compare offers from licensed solar installers to determine the best size for your needs. If considering future electrical upgrades such as EV chargers make sure to tell your installer so they can size your system to meet your future needs.
Solar rebates and incentives vary depending on where you live, who your utility provider is, and other criterias unique to your situation. The most significant solar incentive available to homeowners nationwide is the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which allows you to deduct a % (varies from year to year) of the cost of your Solar energy system from your taxes. Some states offer additional tax credits, and certain municipalities and utilities offer other incentives like cash rebates.
No, as long as you’re connected to the grid, your solar panel system doesn’t necessarily need a battery. Your excess power will flow back to the grid, and you can draw from the grid if you need more electricity than your panels generate. If you want backup power during outages, you will need a battery and if you don’t have access to the one- to- one net metering, batteries can significantly increase your savings with Solar making them very worthwhile.
The Solar panels start creating electricity immediately after installation of the utilities net meter therefore, you might even see the changes in the next bill you recieve.
