Is Solar Worth It in Myrtle Beach?
A Real Homeowner’s Two-Year Solar Journey
If you’re a homeowner in Myrtle Beach or the Grand Strand, you’ve probably wondered: Is solar really worth the investment?
One of the best ways to answer that question is to look at what happens after the solar panels are installed.
Our Owning Solar report follows a real Myrtle Beach-area homeowner through more than two years of solar ownership—from the original $24,000 solar investment and available incentives to energy production, utility savings, loan payoff, and ongoing system performance.
The results provide a real-world look at what residential solar in South Carolina can deliver.
Over the reporting period, the system produced more than 7 MWh of solar energy, while documented utility savings reached approximately $3,240 through June 2026. The homeowner also paid the solar loan in full in February 2026, allowing the system’s ongoing energy production and electric-bill savings to continue without a monthly solar loan payment.
For Myrtle Beach homeowners, solar can be more than a way to generate electricity. It can be a long-term strategy for reducing electric bills, increasing energy independence, and putting abundant South Carolina sunshine to work for your home.
Every property and financial situation is different, so the right solar decision starts with your own numbers.
