Solar on Duke Energy in SC
Duke Carolinas and Progress customers need designs built around low export credits—not coastal Dominion assumptions or expired rebate pitch decks.
Export credits, not 1:1 math
In Duke territory, exported energy is often credited at roughly a few cents per kilowatt-hour. Homes that use power mainly in the evening see less bill movement unless they shift load into daylight hours or add storage. We model that honestly before anyone orders equipment.
Rebates and incentives
Duke’s PowerPair solar-and-battery incentive closed to new applications in Progress territory in late 2025 and has been capacity-constrained in Carolinas. South Carolina’s state tax credit and tax exemptions may still apply to qualifying systems—see our financing & incentives guide. We confirm program status for your meter rather than recycling a national flyer.

Duke solar FAQ
Common questions
Why does Duke territory change solar payback?
Duke typically credits exported power at only a few cents per kWh—well below retail. That makes daytime self-consumption and, for many homes, battery storage more important than maximizing export.
Is Duke’s PowerPair still available?
PowerPair closed to new applications in Progress territory in late 2025 and has been at or near capacity in Carolinas territory. We never build a closed or waitlisted program into your numbers without checking live status for your address.
