Let’s make solar bigger in Ohio

Solar Power in Ohio

Ohio offers homeowners a practical path to lower energy bills through solar, backed by a renewable-energy credit market and steadily climbing utility rates.

Customers of AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy, Duke Energy, and AES Ohio have seen rates rise — and every kilowatt-hour your system produces is one you no longer buy at those prices.

Ohio maintains an SREC market, so your panels earn tradable credits for the clean power they generate, adding value beyond monthly savings.

Net metering lets Ohio homeowners bank excess production as credit, and solar raises home resale value without the heavy upfront cost when financed.

From Columbus and Cleveland to Cincinnati, Toledo, and Dayton, Ohio's mix of sun and high demand makes solar a sound choice.

Adding battery storage shields your home from the outages that come with the region's severe weather.

Homeowners who purchase their system could historically receive a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the cost — though the federal residential credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025, so current availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice; consult a tax professional.
