Louisiana gets serious sunshine. We see over 200 sunny days each year, which means your solar panels will produce consistent energy. Even on cloudy days, modern panels capture enough light to keep generating power.
Our flat rooftops and open spaces provide panels with optimal sun exposure. The intense summer heat that drives up your AC costs becomes your biggest asset. Every sunny day saves you money while your neighbors pay peak rates to Entergy.
Many homeowners see their first electric bill drop by 70-90% after installation. Some months, you might even get a credit from the utility company. That’s money back in your pocket instead of going to the power company.
We install three main types of solar systems, each serving different needs and budgets:
Grid-tied systems connect directly to the power grid. When your panels produce more electricity than you use, that extra power flows back to the grid.
Under Louisiana’s current net metering rules, systems installed after December 31, 2019, receive credit for excess generation at the utility’s avoided cost rate – about $0.03 per kilowatt-hour, roughly a quarter of the full retail rate. This setup works great for most homes and businesses in town.
Installation takes just 1-2 days. You don’t need expensive batteries. Your system starts saving money immediately. If you live in Thibodaux, Houma, or any developed area with reliable grid access, this option delivers the fastest payback.
Off-grid systems operate completely independent from utility power. You generate, store, and use your own electricity. This works perfectly for hunting camps, remote properties, or anyone who wants complete energy independence.
These systems include battery storage to power your home when the sun isn’t shining. We size everything based on your specific energy needs. You’ll never worry about power outages or monthly electric bills again.
Hybrid systems combine the benefits of both approaches. You stay connected to the grid for backup power, but you also have batteries to store excess energy. When storms knock out neighborhood power, your lights stay on.
This option provides maximum security and savings. You use your stored power during peak rate hours when electricity costs the most. During outages, you keep running while others wait for repairs.
Getting your solar system up and running is a seamless process with us. We guide you through every step, making sure everything is handled efficiently and professionally:
Detailed Site Assessment: Our technicians visit your property to measure roof space, check structural integrity, and analyze your current energy usage. We review your past 12 months of electric bills to design a system that fits your needs.Solar panel systems in Louisiana cost an average of $2.53 per watt as of July 2025. A typical 5 kW system costs around $12,644 before incentives. The federal solar tax credit reduces your upfront costs by 30%, bringing that same system down to about $8,850.
Most Lafourche Parish homeowners see complete payback within 13-14 years. After that, you enjoy free electricity for the remaining 10-15 years of your panels’ life. You can save about $23,786 over 25 years with a 5 kW system.
We offer multiple financing options to fit any budget. Many customers pay less for their solar loan than their old electric bill. You start saving money from day one while building equity in your home.
Property values increase with solar installations. Studies show homes with solar panels sell faster and for higher prices. Your investment protects you against future rate increases while adding value to your property.
Switching to solar is a big decision, and choosing the right installer matters. Here’s why so many homeowners and businesses in Lafourche Parish trust Strive Solar:
The federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 30% of your total Lafourche Parish solar installation costs from your federal taxes. This includes equipment, labor, permits, and even sales tax. Louisiana also offers a property tax exemption, so you won’t pay extra taxes on the added home value from your solar system.
The federal tax credit is available every year that new equipment is installed, and you can roll over unused credits until 2035. You need to own your system to qualify – leased systems don’t count.
These incentives make solar more affordable than ever. The combination of tax savings and reduced electric bills creates a strong return on investment for Louisiana homeowners.
