Available Federal & State Solar Tax Credits & Incentives

California isn’t currently offering residents state-specific tax rebates, but there are still opportunities to maximize savings by coupling federal tax credits with state incentives. Programs like net metering and rebates for solar-powered batteries can mean valuable savings for clean energy improvements. Not every purchase will qualify, so it’s important to speak to a Visalia solar energy specialist.

Update: ITC Solar Tax Credit Extension (2022)

There are many benefits to homeowners making the switch to solar, and it’s great to have tax credits and incentives as part of the conversation. Homeowners will find the most savings at the federal level, so buyers already planning solar improvements can take advantage of the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC).

The deadline for the ITC was extended to allow property owners to save on approved solar purchases through 2022. In August 2022, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, raising it to 30% for the installation of solar between 2022-2032.

For many property owners, these savings make clean, renewable energy more accessible and affordable. The ITC rebate was scheduled to expire fully in 2022, so those interested in converting to solar should jump at these savings.

Here's what you need to know about the extension:

• The ITC extension allows eligible taxpayers to save by rebating a percentage of their installation costs.
• This tax extension means your qualified solar improvement could rate a 30% tax credit. The tax credit won’t be leveled with the extension, so you can earn a 30% tax credit if you install solar improvements in 2022 - 2032.
• The original ITC rebates dropped from 26% in 2020 to 22% in 2021 and were scheduled to expire in 2022. Fortunately, congress passed the new ITC extension that increases the tax credit to 30% for the next 10 years.
