Solar Electric Federal Tax Credit Can Help You Save Big in 2019
Through the end of 2019 the Solar Electric Tax Credit can earn you 30% in Federal Tax Credit on the total cost of your solar system, including the cost of permitting, equipment, and installation. Think of it as a 30% discount off the price of going solar!
How Does it Work?
The Investment Tax Credit works by giving you back 30% of the cost of your solar system as a tax credit. If you have more credit than you owe, that’s no problem, the credit will roll over to the next year and is valid for up to 7 years. In order to take advantage of this tax credit you must own your solar system, it is not valid for leasing or purchase price allocation.
Worried you might not quality for the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit? If you purchase your solar system during 2019, own your residence, and you own rather than lease your solar panels there’s a good chance you are the perfect candidate.
What Happens after 2019?
After December 31, 2019 the Investment Tax Credit will still be around, however the Federal Tax Credit amount will be lowered from 30% to 26% in the year 2020. In 2021 the amount will decrease again to 22%, and in 2022 residential will have no tax credit, while commercial and utility applications will get 10%. In short, to save the greatest amount you can on your solar system you should start the process immediately. In order to get the 30% Federal Tax Credit amount your system will have to be purchased by December 31, 2019.
