Federal Government

Federal Tax Credits

The federal government allows homeowners and business owners to deduct 30% of the cost of your solar PV system, through an investment tax credit (ITC). If you do not expect to owe taxes this year, you can roll over your credit to the following years.

Business owned systems may also be eligible for MACRS 5-year accelerated depreciation.

State of California

New Solar Homes Partnership

The New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) is administered by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and provides rebates for new residential construction incorporating solar PV as part of the initial build out. 

Local Incentives

A few city and county governments within California offer additional incentives, to further reduce the cost of going solar. San Francisco’s GoSolarSF is one such example.

Property Value

Property Tax Exemption for Solar Energy Systems. Solar energy systems are not included in property tax appraisals, under California Taxation and Revenue Code Section 73.

While a solar energy system will not increase a homeowner's property tax, it WILL increase property value. According to the National Appraisal Institute (Appraisal Journal – Oct. 1999), your home’s value increases $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills. An article in Realty Times discusses the market for homes with installed renewable energy systems, published March 2002.
