The IRS Investment Tax Credit Law offers a 30% income tax credit from the IRS to recoup solar investment costs.

Additional income tax incentives of 10% – 40% can be recouped with our Solar Tax Max Plan™ along with potential State, Local, & Utility incentives.

The 30% investment tax credit is calculated based on total Solar System costs. 

The investment tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit meaning a refund is only given if one is paying income taxes.

1. If you paid income taxes and you have a credit at the IRS, the IRS will refund the extra money you gave them.
2. If you don’t use the entire tax credit in the first year, you can use the remaining credit balance next year.
3. The tax credit balance will carry forward for 20 years.  

Higher Income Taxpayer Example:

A Homeowner goes solar and pays $100,000 for a solar system in 2023. 

The Homeowner receives a 30% Investment Tax Credit of $30,000 from the IRS. 

The Homeowner is married and earns $100,000 in 2023 and pays $20,000 in taxes.

The Homeowner will receive a $20,000 tax refund.

The remaining $10,000 tax credit will carry forward for 20 more years.  

Lower Income Taxpayer Example:

A Homeowner goes solar and pays $100,000 for a solar system in 2023. 

The Homeowner receives a 30% Investment Tax Credit of $30,000 from the IRS. 

The Homeowner is married and only earns $50,000 in 2023 and pays just $3,000 in taxes.

The Homeowner will receive a $3,000 tax refund.

The remaining $27,000 tax credit will carry forward for 20 more years.  

NO Income Taxpayer Example:

A Homeowner goes solar and pays $100,000 for a solar system in 2023. 

The Homeowner receives a 30% Investment Tax Credit of $30,000 from the IRS. 

The Homeowner is married and only earns $30,000 in 2023 and pays just $0 in taxes.

The Homeowner will receive NO tax refund.

The remaining $30,000 tax credit will carry forward for 20 more years.

The basic solar rules state a Homeowner can only apply the 30% ITC once the system is fully functional and producing energy.

The advanced solar rules used by Solar Tax Max™ state the 30% ITS can be applied the year the solar contract is signed if 5% of the solar project was initiated, i.e. Site Survey.

Solar Tax Max™ Advanced Solar Rules Example:

A Homeowner signs a contract to buy solar on December 20, 2022. 

As long as 5% of the solar project is complete in 2022, the Homeowner can apply for the 30% ITC for the 2022 tax year only when using Solar Tax Max™.
