The time to switch to solar power is now. Federal incentives for homeowners who invest in a solar system are generous, and by understanding them, you can maximize your savings. At GVEC Solar & Battery Services, we make going solar simple and help you navigate the financial benefits.
Understanding the Federal Solar Tax Credit
The key federal incentive is the Residential Clean Energy Credit. It allows homeowners to claim a percentage of the total cost of a solar system, including equipment and labor, on their federal income tax return. You must own the system (not lease it) and the system must be placed in service at a qualifying residence in the United States. (irs.gov)
Currently, the rate is 30% of your qualified installation cost for systems placed in service through 2032. (irs.gov) For example, if your solar system costs $20,000, your tax credit could be $6,000.
Why Timing Still Matters
Even though the The 30% credit now only remains for systems installed before 2026. This mean your system needs to be installed by December 31, 2025 to take full advantage of this substancial credit.
Other Key Solar Benefits and Incentives
Net Metering Benefit
If your system generates more electricity than your home uses, many utilities credit your account for the excess sent back to the grid. This increases your return on solar and helps you recover your investment faster.
Increased Home Value Benefit
Owned solar systems often improve resale value. Buyers see lower energy costs and the solar equipment as a valuable feature that makes your home more appealing. The actual increase varies depending on market and system size.
Property Tax Exemption Benefit
In many areas, the added value of a solar installation is exempt from property taxes. That means your solar upgrade may not increase your property tax bill. Check with your local assessor’s office to confirm the rules in your area.
