Tax credit
#01
Solar Property Tax Abatement
North Carolina excludes most of the added assessed home value of a residential active solar heating/cooling/electric system from property tax, so going solar does not meaningfully raise the property tax bill.
Net metering
#02
Duke Energy Net Metering / Bridge Rate
Duke Energy enrolls new residential solar customers on time-differentiated net-metering / bridge rate options rather than legacy one-to-one net metering. Compensation and savings depend on time-of-use periods and any minimum bill - confirm the current rider when applying.
Net metering · North Carolina
Duke net metering / bridge rate
North Carolina no longer offers legacy flat retail net metering to new Duke Energy customers. New residential solar customers are placed on time-differentiated net-metering or bridge rate options, so export value and savings depend on time-of-use periods, fixed charges, and how well usage is shifted.
Worth checking before you sign:
taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules
differ by utility. Your matched installer confirms the exact numbers for
your address.
