Honest answers · South Carolina

Is solar worth it in your South Carolina town?

Solar became a harder case in South Carolina during 2026. The federal credit expired and one-for-one net metering closed to new residential systems, so payback here is longer than the figures still published on national comparison sites.

That does not make it a bad decision. It makes it a decision that depends on four things: what your utility credits exports at, how much production you can use on site, your roof condition and shading, and how long you will stay.

Each page below answers those for one town, and each carries an explicit list of who solar does not suit there. We publish both lists because the second one is what you actually need if you are trying to decide.
