Solar Panel Incentives

These incentives include federal and state tax credits and utility companies' rebates. The federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of your solar panel system from your federal taxes. Utility companies also offer rebates for solar panel systems, ranging from $0.20 to $0.50 per watt of solar power generated. Solar panel systems can also qualify for a property tax exemption in some states. This exemption allows you to avoid paying property taxes on the increased value of your home due to the addition of the solar panel system. This exemption can save you hundreds of dollars each year.
