The Duke Energy Solar Rebate is a financial incentive program designed to help North Carolina homeowners reduce their energy costs by transitioning to solar energy. As part of the PowerPair Pilot Program 2024, Duke Energy offers rebates of up to $9,000 for installing solar panels with battery storage. This program is available to residents in the service areas of Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress.
By participating, homeowners can offset the upfront costs of solar installation, making renewable energy more affordable and accessible. The rebate includes $0.36 per watt for solar panels and $400 per kWh for battery storage, with caps at $3,600 and $5,400 respectively. This initiative supports Duke Energy's broader goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. With limited capacity, homeowners are encouraged to apply early and ensure their systems are installed by certified Duke Energy installers.
