Save Money and Energy at Home with the New Climate Bill

About the Federal Solar Tax Credit

The largest Climate Bill in American history was recently passed. Homeowners can take advantage of many incentives to save money and energy from insulation to rooftop solar panels. The residential Federal solar tax credit can be claimed on your income taxes as a percentage of the total cost of solar panel installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Your solar panel installation is now eligible for a 30% federal tax credit. This tax credit also applies to solar batteries and solar energy storage solutions. This tax credit has been extended to 2033.

What Is a Tax Credit?

A tax credit or tax rebate is a reduction in the amount of income tax you are responsible for or would otherwise owe. Tax credits are dollar-for-dollar, so if you claim an $800 tax credit, your federal income tax will be reduced by $800. A federal tax credit is sometimes also referred to as a tax rebate or Investment Tax Credit.
