The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is now 30% until 2032. This means that someone who installs a $20,000 home solar energy system could claim a $6,000 tax credit when filing taxes.
The 30% ITC is in effect for solar electric systems installed in 2022 and beyond. So you can save on taxes and invest your hard earned money in your long-term energy future.
The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is not new. However the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed into law by President Joe Biden on August 16th, 2022, added a decade of life to the credit originally slated to expire at the end of 2023. The bill is America’s biggest ever climate investment and includes tax incentives for home solar, electric vehicle purchases, and other green energy initiatives.
What else is in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)? Here are some highlights.
