Solar Services

BHExteriors is excited to announce the launch of our solar division. Now is the time to secure your energy independence. By going solar you will be able to generate your own energy by harnessing the power of the sun.

The Power of Solar

In a single hour the sun produces enough energy to power the needs of every person on Earth. Now imagine if you could capture even a small percent of that energy. Solar harnesses the power of the sun and converts it into DC power for homes and businesses. Inverters then take that DC power and convert it into AC power that then can be used. Solar systems are designed specifically to the customer’s needs and wants. A system can easily be designed to power the full load of a home -the result is a deeply discounted electric bill.

Our team can outline how long it will take for the system to pay for itself through these discounts, depending on your location and configuration of panels.

Custom Tailored Solutions

Every home uses energy differently. At BHE we custom tailor your solar power system to fit your needs for your South Dakota or Wyoming property. Whether you want a full home backup or just want to lower your energy bill, we can do it all. We strive to provide the best possible customer experience.

FAQs

How much does solar cost to install?

Solar systems are designed specific to the user’s needs. Some systems require more components than others and are then more expensive, others less and are then cheaper. The ballpark for a 2,000 sqft home is $20,00-$40,000 but is dependent on many factors.

Are there special tax incentives or state rebates?

Yes. The federal government has a solar tax credit. The Inflation Reduction Act passed in late 2022. The Residential Clean Energy Credit or Investment Tax Credit (ITC) increased the solar tax credit to 30% gross cost of a solar system. This includes all components and labor associated with a solar system. Also the State of South Dakota offers a Property Tax Exemption of $50,000. Homeowners are able to subtract $50,000 off their home’s value when paying property taxes for the life of their solar system.

What's my return on investment ROI? How many years will it take for a system to pay for itself?

Generally speaking 5-12 years. It is dependent on factors such as solar system cost, utility rates and consumers habits. Once a system is paid off it will continue to make power for your home for many years.

What are the warranties on a solar system?

25 years on panels. Electrical components 10-15 years dependent on manufacturer. Batteries 10-15 years dependent on manufacturer.

Will solar panels get destroyed in a hail storm?

Panels with a UL listing 61730 are resistant to 1″ hail @ 55mph. Some companies even offer a panel that is rated for 3″ hail @ 88mph.

How much maintenance is required of a solar system?

Very little. Typically the only maintenance that is needed is occasionally cleaning of the panels. They will still produce power if dirty just not as efficiently.

Solar is too expensive for me. How can I justify taking out a loan?

Solar power installation is more affordable than ever in history. The Federal Government is offering a 30% tax credit for property owners who install solar systems on their property. The ITC or Investment Tax Credit was extended in 2022 for another 10 years and is set to expire in 2032. This allows property owners to take advantage of the credit for the next decade. There is no other purchase you can make where the Feds are willing to give you a 30% savings.
