Alaska Solar's mission is to make solar an easy investment.

Through volume and quality we are creating more low cost and pollution-free energy. We are the installer making solar the new normal in Alaska.

SOLAR COSTS HAVE DECREASED

The cost of solar has decreased about 80% over the past 10 years. Meanwhile, your utility electric rates are increasing about 6% every year. The value of the electricity generated by your system is equal to the cost of electricity from the grid and will increase as utility costs increase.

30% TAX CREDIT

Receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax CREDIT (not a deduction!) equal to 30% of your total solar project cost including permitting, labor, materials, system monitoring and warranty services.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The return on investment for systems in Alaska are 9-12%. That is as good or better than “traditional” investments with less risk and zero taxes. This does not include the added value to your property, which is equal to the cost of the installation.

PRICE ADVANTAGE

Alaska requires utilities to bill you monthly for the net between your production and your usage. This net metering means the electricity you produce is worth the retail rate if your array is sized correctly.

CARBON OFFSET

A panel will offset its carbon cost in 6 months to 2 years. This is 50 to a 100 times better than when panels were first made in the 1970's. Because panels last at least 30 years, a typical 3000 watt system in Anchorage will eliminate 100,000 pounds of carbon dioxide in its lifetime. That's the same as not driving an average car for 8 years!

GRID-TIE BALANCES

The grid is your battery so you don't need to install batteries in your home. The cost benefit is much better with grid-tie systems because the costs of batteries, generators, and maintenance are eliminated. With grid-tie solar, you export your extra electricity to the grid on sunny days and then import it when it is cloudy or at night.
