    North Dakota State Incentives

    Some state programs provide rebates to North Dakota residents who install solar systems. The rebates are performance-based, rewarding systems that produce energy efficiently. Additionally, some utilities in North Dakota offer extra rebates for solar installations, further reducing the cost of going solar. Check with your local utility provider for specific programs and eligibility requirements.

    North Dakota offers a property tax exemption for solar energy systems. This exemption prevents the increase in property taxes that would normally result from the added value of the solar installation. The exemption is available for five years, making it more affordable for homeowners to invest in solar power​.

    North Dakota has a net metering policy that requires investor-owned utilities to offer homeowners and businesses a credit on their utility bills for any excess power generated by their solar energy systems. These credits can offset future electricity costs, making solar power a more economical option​.

    Some utilities in North Dakota offer additional rebates and incentives. For example, Otter Tail Power Company offers rebates ranging from $25 to $1,400 for energy efficiency improvements, which can include solar energy systems.

    *Ask your representative about which incentive you’re eligible to receive. Please consult a tax advisor on your ability to claim these nonrefundable tax credits.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take to install a solar system in North Dakota?

    Most residential systems are installed in one to three days once all permits and approvals are in place. From start to finish, the full process usually takes four to eight weeks, depending on your utility and project size.

    Does cold weather affect solar panel performance?

    Solar panels actually operate very efficiently in cold temperatures, and North Dakota’s clear winter days can produce strong output. Snow generally melts or slides off quickly, especially when panels are mounted at the proper angle.

    Will solar panels work on older homes or roofs?

    Yes, many older properties are great candidates for solar as long as the roof is structurally sound. Our team evaluates your roof condition during the initial consultation to make sure it’s ready to support a long-lasting system.
