🌞 Jay Bassett’s journey with solar energy is more than just about powering his home — it's about giving back to his community. Through the Solarize Gwinnett program, he installed solar panels and donated his Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to support local nonprofits' efforts to lower electric bills and improve energy efficiency for families in need. The finances of going solar made sense to Jay: "We are already getting a bulk buy, at 2 bucks to 2.50 a watt, which is a good price." The 30% tax credit, part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), also helped his decision, and he plans to make the most of the available home efficiency and electrification upgrade provisions of the IRA.
