What is the benefit of SunSmart?
By participating in the program, residents help lower their carbon footprint and invest in their local economy. The economies of scale make SunSmart an affordable, maintenance-free way to take advantage of solar power. • Why is the program set up this way? St. George residents are able to participate in a variety of programs that support renewable energy. Prior to launching this program the City of St. George Energy Services Department and Dixie Escalante Electric performed in-depth research to determine what residents wanted. SunSmart was designed to meet community demand and give residents another option. What happens if I die – as in who will get the unit/energy? The Unit will stay with the estate or residence. There could be a 10% transfer fee if the utilities deem it necessary in a remarketing situation. • If I resell my unit to someone else, can they also claim the tax credit? No, but the utilities prefer you direct tax credit questions to your tax advisor. –> • Is there a limit
