Federal Investment Tax Credit 2009-2016

Effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2016, purchases of qualifying solar electric systems may claim up to 30% of the full cost of installing a system, including making changes or improvements in roofs to which solar panel arrays are to be installed. Unlike the previous Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), the expanded credit has no dollar limit to how big the credit can be.

If you have questions about the Federal ITC, we recommend you contact a tax professional. Or you can start with this program overview that includes links provided by the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE): Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit.
