There are many solar incentive programs available in the United States that can help individuals and businesses save money on their solar energy systems. Here are ten of the top solar incentive programs currently available:
1. Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
This tax credit allows individuals and businesses to deduct up to 26% of the cost of a solar energy system from their federal taxes.
2. Net Energy Metering (NEM)
This program allows individuals and businesses to earn credits for excess solar energy they generate and send back to the grid.
3. Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)
This program allows individuals and businesses to sell the environmental attributes of their solar energy system to utilities, which can help offset the cost of the system.
4. Property Tax Exemptions
Many states offer property tax exemptions for solar energy systems, which can help to reduce the cost of the system over time.
5. Sales Tax Exemptions
Some states offer sales tax exemptions for solar energy systems, which can help to lower the upfront cost of the system.
6. State Rebate Programs
Many states offer rebate programs for solar energy systems, which can help to offset the cost of the system.
7. USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)
This program provides grants and loan guarantees for agricultural producers and rural small businesses to install renewable energy systems, including solar energy.
8. Solar Access Rights
Some states have laws that protect individuals and businesses from being restricted or charged for solar panel installations.
9. Green Building Incentives
Some cities offer incentives for green building certifications, which can include the installation of solar energy systems.
10. Community Solar Programs
Some states offer community solar programs, which allow individuals and businesses to purchase or lease a portion of a larger solar energy system, which can be more cost-effective than installing a system on their own.
Conlusion
It is important to note that solar incentive programs vary by state and may be subject to change over time. It is always best to consult with a solar energy professional to determine which programs are available in your area and which ones are the most beneficial for your specific situation.
