Incentivizing Solar Generation

See if your home qualifies to go solar for no money down

25+ YEARS

OF WARRANTIED PRODUCTION

SMARTEST WAY TO

GENERATE ELECTRICITY

Homeowners are incentivized to sell excess solar power to the grid. Homes that meet criteria can get solar installed for no money out of pocket. Monthly savings are typically greater than monthly solar payments. Overall electric bill becomes fixed and protected from rate increases.

HOME QUALIFICATIONS:

ROOF CONDITION
ELECTRICAL USE
BE ELIGIBLE FOR NET METERING

STEPS FOR APPROVAL

An analyst receives your consumption data to generate the home's solar design.
You Review the Solar Design and Savings Analysis
We submit an application to secure project funding
A Site Audit is scheduled to assess the property
Alliant Reviews Project Details
Assigned Installer applies for permits
Installation is Scheduled
Post Install Inspections approve system activation
Service is Turned On! Month 1 Savings!

APPLYING FOR NET METERING

Excess solar generation is redirected through Alliant's grid to power neighboring homes. Homeowners can benefit from energy credits that reduce their bill even when the sun isn't shining. After Site Audit, project application is reviewed by Alliant to make a final approval.

Because the cost of solar is essentially a one time construction project with little to no maintenance, the upfront and long term costs are predictable. A solar system can provide enough energy savings to cover it's own monthly payments and then some. The difference is as Alliant rates increase with inflation, homes with solar are protected.

What is the cost to go solar?

When your home meets certain criteria, you can actually start the process and get fully installed without paying a cent. After your system goes into service you simply pay a fixed monthly solar bill that replaces your Alliant Bill. The solar payment stays fixed even though Alliant rates are subject to increase for everyone else.

Net Metering

During daylight hours your solar system produces enough power to cover day and night time consumption. Excess power that's not immediately utilized is sent out to the grid. Alliant credits that energy on your account equally 1 for 1. At the end of the month, energy credits pay down your account for the power drawn from the grid during times solar isn't producing.

Can I do a ground mount?

For most homes, using the roof is ideal. It's available space with the best vantage point for sunlight year round. It saves on building costs and reduces roof weathering long term. Homeowners can feel confident that their roof is warrantied upon approval.

If ground mounts are preferred, there are additional construction costs and there must be ground level clearance of obstructions.

What Company should I go with?

Based on project type we'll make recommendations to work with local installers that have a track record of reliably servicing homeowners in the state of Iowa. Our energy experts would first provide you with program details and an in-depth analysis for how solar would work for the home. If everything makes sense, they'll help you with submitting your approval application.

WHAT HOMEOWNERS ARE SAYING

Ralph Taylor

Washington, Iowa

In the past I put off going solar because I thought there was a large upfront investment. We ended up getting solar on our home because we didn't have to start paying until the system was already saving us money more money that it cost to run each month.
