Save 30% with the Federal Tax Credit

The Federal Investment Tax Credit makes solar more affordable than ever. Here's everything you need to know.

The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit

The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is one of the most important incentives for solar energy in the United States. It allows homeowners and businesses to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes.

This isn't a deduction – it's a credit. That means it directly reduces the amount of federal income tax you owe, dollar for dollar.

Maximize Savings: Bundle Roofing + Solar

Here's a powerful opportunity most homeowners don't know about: When you install solar-integrated roofing products with your new roof, the 30% tax credit applies to both the solar AND the roofing.

If you're planning a roof replacement anyway, bundling with solar can save you thousands in additional tax credits.
