Solar Savings

Federal Solar Tax Incentives

The governments today are doing their best to encourage homeowners to make a switch to solar energy. One incentive the US federal government is providing is the Solar Tax Credit. The program offers a tax credit of 30% for homeowners and businesses who install solar panels.

Solar systems installed before 2033 are eligible for a tax credit equal to 30% of the costs of installing solar panels.

A $20,000 solar system would receive a tax credit of $6,000 to what you owe in federal income taxes.

Solar systems installed in 2033 will receive a 26% tax credit, while systems installed in 2034 will get a 22% tax credit before the tax credit expires completely in 2035.

If you’ve already installed a system in 2022, your tax credit has increased from 22% to 30% if you haven’t already claimed it.

Battery storage systems can also receive the 30% federal tax credit when charged exclusively with solar. Starting in 2023, standalone battery installations that have a capacity rating of 3 kilowatt hours or greater also qualify for the credit.

Tax Credit Eligibility

You might be eligible for this tax credit if you meet the following criteria:

Your solar PV system was installed between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2034.

The solar PV system is located at a residence of yours in the United States.

Either:
You own the solar PV system (i.e., you purchased it with cash or through financing but you are neither leasing the system nor nor paying a solar company to purchase the electricity generated by the system).

Or, you purchased an interest in an off-site community solar project, if the electricity generated is credited against, and does not exceed, your home’s electricity consumption. Notes: the IRS issued a statement (see link above) allowing a particular taxpayer to claim a tax credit for purchasing an interest in an off-site community solar project. However, this document, known as a private letter ruling or PLR, may not be relied on as precedent by other taxpayers. Also, you would not qualify if you only purchase the electricity from a community solar project.

The solar PV system is new or being used for the first time. The credit can only be claimed on the “original installation” of the solar equipment.
