There are a few reasons why your electricity bill may still be higher in summer even with solar panels:
- Increased Energy Use – Summer often involves more AC use, appliances running, long days, etc. This can outpace solar output.
- Peak Rates – Some utilities charge higher peak rates in summer afternoons/evenings when solar production is declining but demand is still high.
- Overcast Weather – More cloudy, rainy days in summer can periodically reduce solar output.
- Roof Orientation – Panels facing east or west are less aligned with the summer sun’s path than true south.
While solar panels can drastically reduce your summer electricity costs, some higher use and billing factors may remain. Careful load management, battery storage and checking your billing plan can help optimize summer savings. But seasonal fluctuation is to be expected.
Adding a battery storage component to your existing solar array is a great way to maximize clean energy usage and provide backup power.

File Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits and your paid in full invoice with your tax return to claim the credit. You should claim the credit for the tax year when the property is installed, not merely purchased.
The credit is not refundable or transferrable, so the credit amount you receive can’t exceed the amount you owe in tax. You can carry forward any excess unused credit, though, and apply it to reduce the tax you owe in future years.
Please reach out to your tax advisor or accountant if you have further questions regarding the federal tax credit for solar and battery installations.
