North Carolina solar calculator

Live production from NLR (formerly NREL) PVWatts V8. North Carolina uses net billing for most homeowners (Duke Energy Solar Choice, avoided-cost ~3.4¢/kWh). A better Net Metering Bridge Rate is available to NEW customers only through Dec 31, 2026 — interconnect before that deadline for materially better terms. NC has NO state income tax credit (the old 35% credit ended 2015), and property tax on residential solar is exempt (§105-275(45)). Defaults: south-facing roof mount, 20° tilt, 14% losses.
