Solar Rebate, Solar Tax Credit and Incentives When you install a solar panel system, you are likely eligible to receive cash rebates from your state and energy tax credits from the U.S. Treasury IRS. Depending on your location, you could save 30% to 60% off the cost of installing solar panels. Rest assured, our solar installation experts can explain the available programs and make the paperwork easy for you. SOLAR TAX CREDIT The U.S. Treasury allows Energy Tax Credits for home or business owners. Taxpayers are allowed one tax credit equal to 30 percent of the qualified investment in solar panels, and another equivalent 30% credit for investing in a solar water heating system. Solar tax credits do not apply to solar heating for pools or hot tubs. STATE REBATES Many states offer cash solar rebates and other incentives like sales or property tax exemptions when you install solar panels. State rebates typically range from 10% to 30% of your total installation cost. Visit our Solar Rebates section to learn about the incentives available in your state.
