When it comes to stimulating personal solar, one of the government's easiest methods is tax and rebate related incentives. North Carolina currently offers no state tax credit to consumers who purchase solar panels at their place of residence. Residents in the state enjoy rebates for private solar installs of over $500. This is the highest amount we've seen in the US. North Carolina offers citizens a 100% tax exemption that lasts less than 10 years. Citizens in the state do not have access to a sales tax exemption when installing private solar panels.

Whether a consumer is able to easily find electricity options with renewable fuel sources is at least somewhat determined by initiatives at the state level. Many states require green fuel sources to be a percentage of the fuel used for electricity production by providers in the state. These guidelines are referred to as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). While further improvements could be made, North Carolina requires for 1-15% of electric output to come from renewable fuels. Furthermore, there are currently no low income solar programs to assist low income families to install solar panels.
