The average Sun Source Energy customer saves thousands of dollars. Rate hikes become a concern of the past, and you secure a low, consistent monthly rate.

Why solar?

Tax Credits

The federal government provides a 30% tax credit on the value of your home’s solar system, with no cap on system size. Coupled with various state rebates, this makes solar energy the most cost-effective option. A professional solar energy contractor can guide you in maximizing these savings.

Why solar?

Predictability on Bill

Utility rates increase by an average of 4% annually. This means your utility bill will be at least 20% higher in five years. Why not secure your rate today by switching to solar? Solar energy acts as lifestyle insurance. As energy costs climb, solar customers can maintain their current energy usage without straining their budgets. In the future, those without solar will be scrambling to conserve energy or rushing to install solar systems.

Home Appreciation

Homes are among the safest investments. Why? With proper care and maintenance, they typically appreciate in value over time. Picture this: your real estate agent shows you two houses. One has a utility bill, and the other does not. Would you be willing to pay a premium for the latter, knowing you’ll never have to worry about costly energy bills again?

Cannot recommend working with David enough – professional, approachable and knowledgeable – the information did not feel pitched or pushy, and the quality of work on all fronts is excellent. Very pleased, I highly recommend…and I’m picky 😜”

Our Customers

I would definitely recommend using Sun Source Energy and specifically reps Alice and Chris Barnum if you are looking for solar panels for your home. Alice and Chris were very nice and professional every step of the way and also managed our expectations as to how long the process would take which was an important factor to us. The pricing and the overall timeline that we were told for the project was as they said it would be. The best part if that now that the panels have been installed and are fully operational we only have to pay NV Energy a small connection fee every month, the panels take care of the rest (we bought them rather than doing the leasing option). Thank you to Alice and Chris Barnum or Sun Source Energy, you guys were great!
