Green Power Solar Rebates & Tax Credits

GREAT NEWS from Green Power Solar!!!

Federal Tax Credits

Extended through 2017, now includes Residential installations. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 contains renewable energy legislation which is great news for our Green Power solar customers. Not only was the 30% commercial solar investment tax credit extended through 2017, but the same tax credit was extended to residential installations also. Under this new legislation the previous $2,000 cap for residential solar installations is eliminated. This means that starting now (January 1, 2009) the purchase of a residential solar electric system will make you eligible for a tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of
your solar system, including installation. You can buy your system now and put it in service after January 1, 2009 to take advantage of this new energy bill.

Application Process Beginning January 1, 2007, the Energy Commission's New Solar Homes Partnership will focus solely on PV systems for new residential buildings.
