Going Solar? What You Need to Know about the Solar ITC

As you may have read in the news, the full Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) was not extended and will begin to wind down starting this year. The good news is that if you’re considering making the switch to this clean, reliable energy source, you can still save big with the solar ITC!

​The ITC will begin to wind down from 30% in 2019, to 26% in 2020. The credit will continue to decrease in 2021 to 22%, and then finally in 2022 will be 10% for businesses solely. Construction on solar systems must begin prior to the beginning of the new year in order to receive the previous year’s tax credit rate (i.e. if construction begins prior to January 1st, 2021, the 26% tax credit will be applicable). 

Although it’s unfortunate that this clean energy incentive is phasing down, a 26% tax credit is still a great benefit for those who go solar! To learn more about how to claim the credit, click here. It’s important to remember that construction on your solar energy system must begin by the end of this year to receive the 26% tax credit.
