Frequently Asked Questions

The Residential Federal Solar Tax Credit (IRC § 25) is a credit you may be eligible to receive for going solar. The credit gives solar energy system owners (owners is an important distinction) a dollar-for-dollar reduction against their federal income taxes.

The percentage that solar owners may have received differed based on when their solar energy system was installed and operable. If your solar energy system was installed and working before December 31, 2019, then you may have been able to qualify for a 30 percent tax credit. After 2019, that percentage dropped to 26 percent and the installation/operation deadline for your system was December 31, 2020. After that, the percentage dropped to 22 percent with an installation/operation deadline of December 31, 2021. Note, the COVID-19 relief package signed into law at the end of 2020 changed this timing.

Anyone who owns a solar energy system.

Ownership is key. For you solar energy owners, that’s anyone who signed a Purchase Agreement or Loan Agreement. You may be eligible for the tax credit because you own the system. Sidenote: the Residential Solar Tax Credit only applies to first or second residential properties—not rental properties.

There are two main reasons why people become interested in solar energy. One is related to how much solar panels could save them on their electricity bills, and the other is the environmental benefits. Let’s talk about the financial savings first.

The amount of money you could save will vary depending on your house. The size of your solar energy system, its exposure to direct sunlight, and the incentives available in your area, will all affect how much your system will cost you and how much money it will save you.

That being said, solar energy is an affordable, viable option for a lot of people. Most don’t even realize that their house qualifies for money-saving solar panels. According to the Office of Energy & Renewable Energy (EERE.), the cost of solar has dropped every year since 2009, making it easier and easier for most people to save money with solar panels.

Using solar power instead of conventional forms of energy reduces the amount of carbon and other pollutants that are emitted into the environment. Reducing the amount of carbon in our atmosphere translates into less pollution and cleaner air and water.

Buying a solar energy system will likely increase your home’s value. A Berkley lab study found that solar panels are viewed as upgrades, just like a renovated kitchen or a finished basement, and home buyers across the country have been willing to pay a premium of about $15,000 for a home with an average-sized solar array. Additionally, there is evidence homes with solar panels sell faster than those without. In 2008, California homes with energy efficient features and PV were found to sell faster than homes that consume more energy. Keep in mind, these studies focused on homeowner-owned solar arrays.
