Summer isn’t just about beach days and barbecues—it’s also the best season to go solar.

Whether you live in New Jersey, New York, or California, installing solar panels during the summer can maximize your savings, lock in valuable incentives, and prepare your home for whatever the seasons bring.

At Sea Bright Solar, we’re seeing more homeowners making the smart move to solar this summer—and here’s why you should consider doing the same.

1. Capture Maximum Sunshine Right Away

More Sun = More Savings

Summer delivers the longest days of the year—meaning your new solar panels will:

  • Produce more electricity

  • Start delivering savings sooner

  • Help you build up net metering credits to use in fall and winter

Why wait to start saving? The sooner you install, the sooner your utility bills shrink.

2. Lock In the 30% Federal Tax Credit

The Clock Is Ticking

The 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) remains one of the biggest financial incentives for going solar—but it won’t last forever.

By installing in 2025, you can lock in:

  • A full 30% credit on your entire system cost

  • Thousands of dollars back on your tax return

  • Faster payback and higher ROI

Miss this window, and you could lose out on significant savings.

3. Stay Ahead of Utility Rate Hikes

Utilities Are Raising Rates

In all three of our service regions—NJ, NY, and CA—utility companies are increasing rates this year:

  • PSE&G and Con Edison in the northeast

  • PG&E and SCE in California

Going solar protects you from these rate hikes by locking in your own low-cost energy for decades to come.

4. Avoid Permitting and Installation Delays

Beat the Fall Rush

Many homeowners wait until late summer or fall to start solar projects—which can cause:

  • Permit delays

  • Longer utility approval times

  • Backlogged installation schedules

By starting your project now, you’ll:

  • Get faster permit approval

  • Install before peak demand

  • Enjoy full summer savings and be ready for winter storms

5. Prepare for Outages and Storms

Outages Are Increasing

From hurricanes in the Northeast to wildfires and PSPS shutoffs in California, grid outages are becoming more frequent and more disruptive.

Adding battery storage to your solar system:

  • Keeps lights and critical appliances running

  • Protects your family during storms

  • Eliminates the need for noisy, fuel-hungry generators

Don’t wait for the next outage—get prepared this summer.
