Columbus Homeowners Are Slashing Their Electric Bills By Up To 90% Using This New Solar Program

A little-known government incentive is helping thousands of Ohio residents go solar with $0 upfront costs. Here's how to check if you qualify before the program ends.

If you've noticed your electricity bills climbing year after year, you're not alone. Ohio residents have seen energy costs increase by an average of 15% annually over the past five years. But thousands of homeowners have found a way to fight back—and it's not what you might expect.

Thanks to a combination of federal tax incentives, state rebates, and new financing options, going solar has never been more affordable. In fact, many Columbus residents are now installing complete solar systems with zero money down—and seeing their monthly energy costs drop by 70-90%.

"We went from paying $287/month to just $34. The solar panels paid for themselves in under 4 years."

How the New Solar Program Works

The process is surprisingly simple. Here's how local homeowners are taking advantage:

First, you check if your home qualifies using a free online tool. This takes about 30 seconds and analyzes your roof, location, and current energy usage. If you're eligible, a certified solar consultant will provide a customized savings estimate—with no obligation.

"I was skeptical at first—it sounded too good to be true. But they handled everything from permits to installation. Now I'm producing more energy than I use, and the utility company actually pays ME. My only regret is not doing this sooner."
