Starting in the late summer/early fall, people begin to think about the dreaded tax season as well as many other year end expenses. Solar actually doesn't hit its most popular during the heavy heat of the summer, but during the closing month of each year as people rush to install to get their 26% ITC (Federal Tax Credit). This can be an incredibly useful resource for a lot of households and some installations can see as much as $25,000 back at the end of the year. Even if you finance your system you are still eligible for the tax credit, and if you buy battery back ups as part of your system they are eligible for it as well. It is important to note that if you install a solar system and then buy batteries a year or so later, they will not be eligible for the tax credit.
If you would like to use your ITC to lower the cost of your system, our partner, Dividend Finance, allows you to roll your tax credit into the purchase of the system and will immediately give you lower payments even before tax season comes around. Whatever your financial goals are when going solar, we can certainly make them happen. Nothing beats an opportunity where you can help the world and save money at the same time!
