Smart Upgrading: When to Consider Trade-Ins

Timing your upgrade is crucial. Here's a real-world example: A California farm upgraded their 2018 50kW system through EK SOLAR's trade-in program, reducing payback period from 6 to 4.2 years. Their secret? Combining trade-in credits with federal tax incentives.
