Why Huntington Homeowners Are Going Solar in 2026
If you’re a homeowner in Huntington, Cabell County, there’s never been a better time to go solar. Electricity rates from Appalachian Power have been climbing — the current average is 14.45¢ per kWh, and most Huntington households pay around $135/month. That’s money going to the utility with nothing to show for it.
A typical Huntington home needs a 9 kW system to offset most electricity usage. Over 25 years, that’s estimated savings of $35,000+ — before the 30% Federal Tax Credit (~$9,000 back).
Huntington homeowners are finding solar increasingly affordable as panel costs drop. The federal tax credit and Appalachian Power’s net metering make the investment worthwhile.
