SOLAR FOR YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS
Thinking of going solar? Now is the time! If you install a residential solar power system before January 1, 2023, 26% of your total project costs (including equipment, permitting, and installation) can be claimed as a credit on your federal tax return. Projects completed in 2023 will be eligible for a 22% tax credit. This incentive is currently scheduled to expire on January 1, 2024.
