When it comes to electricity generation, North Carolina's top fuel is Natural Gas, accounting for 57,071,733.95 megawatt hours, or 41.84% of production in the state. Nuclear and Coal are the second and third most often used fuel types for electricity generation. Nuclear makes up 43,400,427 megawatt hours (31.82%) of electricity production and Coal makes up 16,622,444.41 megawatt hours (12.19%) of total generation in the state. Approximately 42,495,590,972.74 kilograms of CO2 emissions are released in the state from electricity use.

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.
