Most NC homeowners paying $150–$220+ a month to Duke Energy see their monthly energy cost drop significantly with solar. We show you the real math for your specific home — not a generic estimate.
Without Solar
$180–$220/mo
With Solar
$60–$130/mo
Protection Against Rising Rates
Utility rates in North Carolina continue to climb. By owning your solar system, you lock in your energy costs and protect yourself from unpredictable future rate hikes from utility companies.
Cash, Loan & Lease Options
We offer cash, loan, and lease options. A 0% escalator lease can be a strong fit for some homeowners, especially when paired with Tesla Powerwall 3. We help you compare the structure that makes the most sense for your finances.
Duke Energy Net Metering
NC's current net metering structure is changing on 1/1/27. If your system is already in place under today's structure, you'll move to Duke Energy's bridge rate beginning January 1, 2027. Combined with battery backup and smart system design, solar can still significantly reduce your bill.
*Savings estimates based on typical NC homeowner usage. Individual results vary.

We let our customers speak for us. These are real stories from NC homeowners who went through our honest, no-pressure process.
"We were skeptical at first — every solar company we talked to just wanted to push us into a lease. NC GO SOLAR was completely different. They showed us the real math, told us exactly what the tax credit would actually do for us, and never pressured us once. Our bill dropped from $220 to about $40 a month. We own our system outright."
Marcus & Jennifer T.
📍 Fuquay Varina, NC
Was paying $220/mo to Duke
"I had a Tesla and my electricity bill had shot up to almost $200 a month. The advisor I worked with at NC GO SOLAR walked me through every number — the current policy details, the payback period, even told me honestly that battery backup wasn't worth it in my specific situation. That honesty is what made me trust them completely."
David R.
📍 Cary, NC
Duke Energy $190/mo
"Living on the coast, we've had power outages during hurricane season every year. Adding the Tesla Powerwall alongside our solar system was the best decision we made. NC GO SOLAR knew about the Duke Energy battery program before we even asked. Professional, local, and honest."
Patricia & William S.
📍 Holly Springs, NC
Wake County home $240/mo
"I was worried about roof damage and whether panels would make my house look bad. They were totally upfront — showed me photos of similar Cary-area homes, explained the roof warranty coverage, and even told me that one part of my roof wasn't ideal. They designed around it. Honest folks."

North Carolina sees tropical storms and hurricanes that knock out Duke Energy power for days. With a Powerwall, your lights, refrigerator, and critical devices stay on even when the grid goes down.
Duke Energy currently offers incentives for homeowners who add battery storage to their solar system. Most NC solar companies don't even mention this. We factor it into every battery analysis we do.
Store cheap solar energy during the day and use it during Duke's peak rate periods at night. Smart energy management that reduces your bill even beyond basic solar savings.
Daytime
Solar panels generate electricity. Your home uses what it needs. Excess power charges your Powerwall battery.
Evening
Your Powerwall provides stored solar energy. You draw minimal or zero power from Duke's grid during expensive peak hours.
Outage
Your home automatically switches to battery power. Your lights, refrigerator, and devices stay on. Neighbors' power is out. Yours isn't.
Cloudy Days
Draw from your battery first. If depleted, grid power fills the gap. NC's net metering credits offset those costs anyway.
Battery backup makes the most sense for NC homeowners who:

We started NC GO SOLAR because we believed NC homeowners deserved better than what most solar companies offered — honest advice from someone who actually knows your utility, your market, and your state.
NC GO SOLAR was built specifically for the North Carolina residential solar market — where honest advice is the scarcest commodity. Unlike large national installers that prioritize volume over guidance, we position ourselves as your no-pressure local advisor.
We tell homeowners honestly whether solar makes sense for their specific home, roof, and electricity usage. If it doesn't make financial sense, we say so. That commitment to honesty is what drives everything we do.
NC GO SOLAR operates under ALPHAEDGE LLC, a North Carolina registered company. We work with vetted local installer partners — including NCSolarNow — to connect homeowners with the best equipment at competitive pricing.

Promise 3 — No-Pressure Process
We present facts, numbers, and options. You make the decision at your own pace. There are no deadlines, no callbacks, no pressure tactics.
We say no to solar when it doesn't make sense. That's rare in this industry — and it's the reason homeowners trust us.
We know NC utility programs, net metering rules, Duke Energy incentives, and battery programs. Most companies don't.
We lead with solar + battery because it's genuinely the smarter choice for most NC homeowners. Most competitors skip this conversation.

The same honest, no-pressure advisory approach we bring to residential solar — applied to commercial properties across North Carolina.
High daytime electricity loads from pumps, lighting, refrigeration, and HVAC make gas stations an excellent solar candidate. Canopy-mounted systems are increasingly popular and highly visible.
Large roof area, consistent daytime energy use, and long-term ownership make churches ideal for solar. We help nonprofits review the current project economics and available pathways before they commit.
Heavy water heating, equipment, and lighting loads mean car wash businesses typically see excellent ROI from solar. Most qualify for accelerated depreciation in addition to the federal tax credit.
Large, flat roof areas are often perfectly suited for solar arrays. Commercial systems can eliminate a majority of electricity costs for warehouse and distribution operations.
Strip malls, retail stores, medical offices, and professional service businesses can significantly reduce overhead with solar. We help you understand the real payback period before you commit.
USDA REAP grants provide up to 50% funding for agricultural solar installations. We help NC farm owners understand the current project economics before they move forward.
We'll review your business's electricity usage, roof or ground space, and available incentives — then give you an honest picture of the ROI before you make any decision.
