South Carolina Solar REAP Grant

What is the REAP Grant (Rural Energy for America Program)?

The USDA's "Rural Energy for America Program," or “REAP,” offers a grant designed to encourage agricultural and rural businesses to maximize their energy efficiency with solar.

Take advantage of REAP Grant savings

The REAP grant can cover up to 50% of your solar energy system costs allowing you to break even in as little as 1 year. There are millions of dollars available to rural and small to mid-size businesses in South Carolina, as well as AG producers through this program.

How can Greentech Renewables help?

Greentech Renewables can help you with each stage of the grant application process, from finding an installer to working with a grant writer.

Can I take advantage of the REAP Grant?

Small businesses in eligible rural areas of South Carolina and any agricultural producer can apply and may be eligible.

If you are a rural or small to mid-size business, check if you are in an eligible area (agricultural producers can skip this).

South Carolina has several solar incentives that reduce the cost of installing commercial solar systems, but none as significant as the REAP Grant. Combined with SC's incentives, the USDA's 50% rebate on your solar energy system is one of the best incentives offered in the history of the solar industry. So take advantage of the USDA's REAP Grant in SC while it is still available. Fill out our interest form to get started!

Solar Incentives in South Carolina

South Carolina offers a 25% tax credit on the cost of installing a solar power system. The maximum credit is $3,500 or 50% of your state tax liability up to 10 years, whichever is less.

In South Carolina, businesses can get a 100% property tax exemption for solar systems 20 kW or under.

South Carolina's three main utility companies, Duke Energy Progress, Duke Energy Carolinas, and Dominion Energy South Carolina participate in net metering where businesses can receive utility-specific electricity credits for any excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) remaining at the end of the month.
