Solar Power Installation Incentives
Solar energy is good, clean, "green" energy for our environment. It eases the burden on our electrical infrastructure during hours of peak demand, and contributes to energy independence for our nation. For these reasons, the federal government and state and local governments have put into place many incentives for homes and businesses to convert to solar power including:
- Income tax deductions, exclusions and credits
- Accelerated depreciation options
- Property tax credits and exemptions
- Grants, loans and rebates
- Favorable excess power utility buy-back structures
- "Green" energy credits (REC)s that you can sell on the wholesale electricity market
Taken together, these incentives transform solar power into a smart, cost-saving strategy for almost everyone, and the many guaranteed loan programs make residential and commercial solar energy financing widely available allowing you to leverage your investment.
