Louisiana does not require full net metering. Instead, utility companies usually pay wholesale rates, around 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, for excess solar energy sent back to the grid. This is far lower than the retail rate, which averages about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Homeowners and businesses qualify for a 30 percent federal tax credit on solar installation costs. This incentive is available through December 31, 2032, and will decrease in future years unless renewed by Congress.
Louisiana excludes the value of your solar system from property tax calculations. This saves you about 0.5 percent of your system’s value annually, depending on your system size and home valuation.

Solar installation costs in Louisiana generally range from 2.50 to 3.40 dollars per watt. For a standard 6 kilowatt system, this results in upfront costs between 15,000 and 20,000 dollars before applying any incentives.
After the 30 percent federal tax credit, the average net cost falls between 10,500 and 14,000 dollars. Homeowners typically save between 1,200 and 1,700 dollars per year on electricity.
Payback periods in Louisiana range from 13 to 16 years, though some homes with high energy usage may reach payback in as few as 7 years. Over a system’s 25-year lifespan, total savings often exceed 17,000 to 24,000 dollars, depending on local rates, usage habits, and energy inflation over time.

Plaquemines Parish sits in southeast Louisiana, where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico. This largely rural parish is shaped by its coastlines, levees, and waterways. It is known for seafood, river commerce, and frequent exposure to hurricanes and flooding. Belle Chasse is its largest community, and Pointe à la Hache serves as the parish seat.
Getting a solar panel for home is the best decision I’ve made. It has helped me save from electric bills, plus it’s so friendly to the environment.

I didn’t know how much I spent on energy for my water heating until I encountered Solar Sun Surfer. I got their solar heating a few weeks back and it’s the same as my regular heating, only it saves me money from electrical bills. You guys are lifesavers!

I’m so glad I ran into this place. I’ve been looking for a trusted solar company within my area since I moved, but nothing has caught my attention yet. Until Sun Surfer Solar came along. I love the solar water heating since it has the same function and features of my regular heater, but reduce the burden of energy bills going through the roof.

I recommend this company for their dedication to solar. And great service of course. There are so many solar companies in California alone, but for me Solar Sun Surfer is my go-to place for everything solar; panels to heaters.
