'''Solar power in South Carolina''' is rapidly becoming competitive with grid electricity, due to the decrease in cost and the eight-year extension to the 30% [[federal tax credit]], which can be used to install any size system.<ref>[http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2008/10/tax-credits-extended-renewable-energy-industry-breathes-sigh-of-relief-53755 Tax Credits Extended: Renewable Energy Industry Breathes Sigh of Relief]</ref> South Carolina offers a 25% tax credit, meaning that 55% of the cost is covered through tax credits.<ref>[http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/2010/07/13/1583167/solar-power-picking-up-some-heat.html Solar power picking up some heat in S.C.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120529161953/http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/2010/07/13/1583167/solar-power-picking-up-some-heat.html |date=2012-05-29 }}</ref>
South Carolina's largest solar installation was the 311 kW Grand Strand Solar Station array in [[Myrtle Beach]], completed on April 18, 2011,<ref>[https://www.santeecooper.com/portal/page/portal/santeecooper/environment/renewables/green_power_generation/solar_power Solar Power]</ref> until December 2, 2011, when [[Boeing]] completed covering the roof of their [[Boeing 787|787]] assembly building with a 2.6 MW solar array, sufficient for 20% of the building's energy use.<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/boeing-south-carolina-to-be-powered-by-100-renewable-355753/ Boeing South Carolina to be powered by 100% renewable energy]</ref><ref>[http://www.charlestonbusiness.com/news/41866-sce-amp-g-completes-boeing-rsquo-s-solar-rooftop-project SCE&G completes Boeing’s solar rooftop project]</ref>
