At Pee Dee Electric, we are focused on supporting our members and building a brighter future for our communities. As we receive more questions about home solar, our energy experts remain dedicated to working with members to assess their home energy use and new energy technologies.

Embarking on a home solar project can be a big investment. And like any major investment, it is important to consider a range of personal, geographic, and financial factors when determining the best fit for your home and family.

If you have researched home solar and it seems like a fit, we encourage you to contact Pee Dee Electric as your first step.

One of the most important questions to ask is: What are my goals? A recent study conducted across North Carolina’s electric cooperatives revealed that 56 percent of co-op members who express an interest in home solar are interested because of perceived savings on their electric bill.

If savings are your aim, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Our energy experts can walk through several home energy technologies and the impact they could have on energy use. We can also perform a no-cost energy assessment at your home that will yield recommendations for energy efficiency upgrades to provide a faster return on your investment. Pee Dee Electric offers energy efficiency rebates on water heaters and heat pumps that can help make these measures even more wallet-friendly.

If you have researched home solar and it seems like a fit, we encourage you to contact Pee Dee Electric as your first step. We will provide you with important information about rates and grid interconnection agreements that you will need before entering into conversations with solar installers.

While many installers are reputable and knowledgeable, there are more than 100 electric utilities in North Carolina, and it is possible that they may miss facts and details specific to our co-op. While rooftop solar works for some, it’s not the answer for all. Pee Dee Electric offers a community solar option. Any interested member can participate by purchasing the energy output of solar panels from Pee Dee Electric’s community solar farm without the maintenance or cost of an at-home system.

As our cooperative works to evolve the electricity grid, we are proud to support all energy solutions that are a fit for our members, uphold the safety and reliability of our grid and improve the diversity of our resources while also ensuring that costs do not shift to members without home solar panels.

Pee Dee Electric is here to support you in meeting your energy goals. If you’re eyeing home solar, we hope you’ll connect with us soon to learn more about our interconnection process and get the accurate information you need to make an informed decision. Our team of experts are ready to help, and we look forward to continuing to work together with our members to build a brighter future for all.
