Federal Renewable Energy Incentives for Solar Financing
The (Federal) Investment Tax Credit (ITC)3, also known as the Federal Solar Tax Credit, allows you to deduct 26% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes. The ITC applies to both residential and commercial systems, and there is no cap on its value.
State Renewable Energy Incentives for Solar Financing
Illinois
With Illinois Shines Renewable Energy Credits, incentives are available that may lower the cost of your solar PV system. Based on energy generated, the credits are issued as a lump-sum payment to the solar array owner. These credits may reduce the solar PV system costs by approximately 30% to 50%.
Indiana
Indiana offers a state property tax deduction for the installation of solar or wind technologies. For more information, contact your county tax office or the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance.
Kentucky
Kentucky offers a favorable net metering policy that requires utilities to give you credit for any surplus production from your solar PV system.
Missouri
Utility companies are required to meet a certain Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to encourage Missouri homeowners to go solar with rebates and discounts. Additionally, solar homeowners are exempt from property tax increases that result from installing solar panels.
