Solar Energy is a Step Ahead to Improve the Quality of Life: Solar Tax Credit What is Solar Tax Credit? The Federal Tax Credit, that is also known as Investment Tax Credit (ITC), allows a person to deduct 30% of the total cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes. The ITC, however, applies to both residential and commercial systems and also there ain’t no cap on its value. It is just because of ITC that the average solar energy marketplace shopper saves $5,000 on the cost of going solar in 2017. Solar companies danced joyfully when in 2015 Congress approved the 2016 federal spending bill and extended the solar panel tax credit. A 5-year Solar Tax Credit extension makes solar more affordable for all the Americans.

Solar Investment Tax Credit Procedure 

The ITC is based on the amount invested in the solar property setup. Till Dec 2019, both residential and commercial ITC are equal to 30% which is based on the investment on the property commenced for construction till 2019. In the year 2020, the ITC dips from 30% to 26% and then 22% in the year 2021.
