Federal Income Tax Credit
The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) serves as a catalyst for solar energy investments, granting eligible taxpayers a generous tax credit based on a percentage of the total cost of their solar system installation. Originally established in 2005, the IRA extended the ITC until 2032, offering an exciting 30% tax credit.
