Ohio’s number one solar installer that does it different.
Solar Is Freedom is the only Cincinnati residential solar company that is locally owned and operated. We have been serving Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana since 2011 and installed over 1 million watts of residential solar in 2018 alone. Solar Is Freedom focuses on one thing above all others: building a strong relationship with the community. We are active in a number of local organizations and charities, and focus on ensuring that every project we do has a stamp of approval from our customers. We have experienced rapid, organic growth by understanding that treating our customers as the top priority, with no exceptions, leads to healthy growth within Ohio communities. That is why our process is a two step, educational approach with no pressure and requires zero commitment. We know that for over 80% of Ohio homeowners, solar makes sense and will save them thousands. Our job is to make sure the transition to a renewable future is made with ease and comfort, and that our customers have a partner they can count on through the life of the products.
Ohio’s most trusted home solar installer
Solar Is Freedom is a locally owned and operated company with offices in both Cincinnati and Columbus. We have roots in these communities, and we care about the future of homeowners here. Because of this, we intensely and exclusively focus here in Ohio to ensure every eligible home is making the best financial decision possible when it comes to their energy bills. Solar Is Freedom takes all the nonsense out of the process and provides you with all the information up front, before any level of commitment is necessary. We want homeowners to be educated about solar and we want to help them understand the benefits of solar. This is why you have one person from start to finish, that is as invested in your home solar project as you are. This assigned representative of Solar Is Freedom takes you from the initial home evaluation all the way through the installation and beyond through the long life of the solar array. If you’ve ever been interested in finding out if your home is eligible with no commitment, stop waiting and find out now and we will have a home solar expert contact you.
In Ohio, solar for your home is the right financial decision.
Imagine renting a home that has guaranteed rent increases annually. Now imagine having the opportunity to buy that home for $0 out of pocket, save money monthly with a fixed payment, and still have a 25-year whole home warranty. Finally, imagine paying off that home during the warranty period! This is what you can expect when you choose to install solar for your home. This is not your typical home improvement. Solar is Freedom is asking you to flip a volatile bill into an secure investment. By going solar, you are making the decision to stop wasting your money and instead build equity in your home.
INCENTIVES – In Ohio, we have access to the Federal Investment Tax Credit, essentially having the federal government fund 30% of your solar project! This is only available through 2019! There are also various local incentives depending on your local government. The number one incentive in Ohio is net metering. With net metering, you can enjoy your same great service, put zero dollars down, and start saving money with clean energy on your home immediately.
Solar affordability is simple: if you are paying a utility company, you’re overpaying for your energy
The cost of solar panels for your home is extremely affordable. Every project is different, but on average, buying a kilowatt hour of energy from your utility company is about 12 cents. Buying solar to produce that same kilowatt hour for your home is between 5-7 cents. This means if you are still buying energy from your utility, you are paying over twice as much as you should! The financing options available allow you to take advantage of these benefits $0 down today! Click here to get in touch with a representative to learn more.
When thinking about solar as an investment for your home, one of the key questions that comes up is: “How does an investment in solar energy compare to other investments I can make, like my 401k?” Great question. First, solar has a guaranteed return. You are guaranteed to pay for electricity, and the system is warrantied for 25 years. You can’t get that from any traditional investment vehicle other than low returning bonds. Second, the typical annual return is 9%. So essentially a guaranteed 9% return? That is better than any other 20+ year investment available today!
Paying your electric bill does not increase the value of your home. You are paying 100% interest on kilowatt hours and seeing no return. With solar, you will see an additional $3-4 per watt value added to your property. This means that for every $1 you spend on solar, you will see about $1.85 in returned value. No other investment gives you that kind of return, or pays you back monthly.
Green energy is right for everyone.
Since the industrial revolution, humans have contributed to an exponential spike in greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels. This has led to abnormal climate conditions, which in turn has led to devastating weather events, including draught, famine, record breaking storms, forest fires, sea level rise, and flooding. All of these catastrophes have caused a current refugee crisis. The UN has estimated that over 22 million people have been displaced from causes related to climate change, either directly or indirectly. The over consumption of fossil fuels has also caused a mass extinction, through both temperature rise and deforestation of habitats. Scientists agree that the Earth could lose between 30% and 50% of all species. We need energy, but not at the expense of life on Earth.
Over the same time period solar has grown by over 5,000%, deaths of U.S. citizens from pollution have been cut in half. This is great news! However, the death toll is still over 70,000 Americans annually. Working with green companies and using green technology for your energy not only saves you money, it saves lives. Making a decision to buy solar and to reduce your consumption of fossil fuels directly benefits everyone. The economic and environmental impact of non-renewables is hurting everyone. By making the switch to solar, you are helping yourself, your community, the world, and all future generations.
Actually, they do pay for the energy they draw from the grid. However, this cost is partially or completely offset by energy they send to the grid during sunlight hours. This is called "net-metering". They only pay the "net" amount of what they purchased less what they sold.

Efficiency certainly is important. The efficiency of panels produced by Tier 1 suppliers can range from approximately 18%-22%. Unfortunately, using efficiency as the only measure can be misleading, just like buying a car solely based on gas mileage. Price per watt is a netter measure. Paying a premium for high efficiency may be more costly in the long run. For example, Panel A: 300 watts is 22% efficient and costs $1200. Panel B: 300 watts is 18% efficient but only costs $900. In this cast panel B is a better investment. Usually the cost to develop the higher efficiency panels results in a premium price and a lower return on investment. Ask questions and do the math. Other factors to take into consideration are the quality reputation of the manufacturer and the life of the product warranty.
