Ways to lower your Tallahassee price
- Claim the 30% federal credit and stack any state, utility or property-tax incentives.

- Cash or a credit-union loan usually beats dealer-financed solar loans with hidden fees.
- Replace an aging roof before installing, not after — removal and reinstall costs $3,000 to $6,000.
