Fayetteville is a growing community in North Carolina with a passion for clean energy. Rising electricity costs, supportive state policies, and a vested interest in the future of North Carolina have encouraged many homeowners to consider solar power as a smart investment. SunPower is proud to be in Fayetteville, guiding homeowners seeking high-performance solar panels and expert installation to go solar.
Fayetteville is great for solar thanks to its climate. The community is located in the sub-tropical region of North Carolina’s sandhills/coastal plain, where solar resources are consistent all year long. Hot, sunny, humid summer days lead to mild winters, with plenty of precipitation; both have benefits for those utilizing solar power. With an average of more than 5 hours of peak sunshine per day throughout the year1, solar energy is readily available, and solar systems are considered viable and productive. In addition, North Carolina’s renewable energy programs ensure homeowners can maximize both savings and environmental impact.
Fayetteville residents have access to several solar incentives from the state government and utility programs. Availability and incentive programs vary by location and may change at any time, but here are a few that are worth investigating in Fayetteville before installing solar:
North Carolina Property Tax Abatement: In 2011, North Carolina clarified legislation exempting solar systems from contributing their value to property tax if they are privately owned, non-income-generating systems.
Renewable Energy Buy-Back (REBB) Rider: PWC2, the main utility provider in Fayetteville, offers the REBB program to systems less than 10 kW. In this program, PWC buys excess electricity sent to the grid from a home in exchange for credits that are applied against any energy drawn from the grid. These credits allow for monthly savings but do not roll over from month to month.
Buy All Sell All (BASA): PWC offers this program to systems over 10kW, where the customer buys all energy used from the grid at retail prices and then sells all generated energy to PWC at wholesale prices. They can contribute to significant savings, but do not roll from month to month.
Duke Energy PowerPair Program: Certain homes in Cumberland County receive their electricity from Duke, which offers incentive programs like the PowerPair Program, where direct rebates are available for solar + battery installations. For eligibility and rebate amounts, consult Duke Energy.
Disclaimer: Incentives and rebates vary by location and may change. Program availability and terms depend on state law and utility policies.
For those living in Fayetteville, there are several advantages that homeowners should take into account when considering going solar:
Reducing Utility Bills: By installing a solar system, homeowners may be able to reduce monthly bills as they decrease the amount of electricity they must draw from the utility grid. Savings may reach thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the system, depending on capacity, energy use, utility rates, and financing choice.
Energy Security: With a solar system, especially one equipped with a solar storage solution like the Enphase 10C, homeowners may decrease reliance on the utility grid, and in some situations, remain fully powered during outages.
Home Value Increase: Many recent studies have indicated that homes with solar installations sell faster and for more money than those without.3
Environmental Benefits: Solar panels produce no greenhouse gases during operation, helping to improve air quality and quality of life in general for many Fayetteville residents.
