Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

In order to incentivize investment in renewable energy sources such as solar energy, the United States government has initiated Investment tax credit as part of IRS Tax Code since 2005. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that a person or company would otherwise pay the federal government.

According to SEIA.org, solar investment tax credit has helped solar industry grow by more than 10000% since it was started in 2006. It was supposed to expire at the end of 2017, but Congress extended its expiration date. This federal tax credit enables solar energy installation in the United States to save 26% on the installation cost of their solar energy systems.
