WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) – Waynesville wants homeowners to make the switch to solar panels. Waynesville leaders want residents and businesses to generate electricity by using solar panels so they’re offering incentives to offset the costs and encourage the town’s electric customers to make the investment.
The town has established a rate schedule to buy that energy back from the client, and that power can then be sold to other customers. Solar customers then earn power credits they can use during the darker winter months. The plan is in the pilot stage and leaders are considering a round table to advise staff moving forward.
