We’re helping people in Columbus get maximum solar savings with no upfront costs Thanks to the federal tax credit, Ohio’s net metering policy, solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs), and the Energy Conservation for Ohioans (ECO-Link) program, going solar in Columbus has never been more affordable. Every panel we install on your roof is to give you more freedom and control over your hard-earned money. You also get the satisfaction of knowing you’re doing your part to reduce harmful emissions that harm our planet. Solar cuts down the amount you pay for electricity from the City of Columbus Division of Power or American Electric Power Company .
