The following is an explanation of the solar tax credit, which we hope will be a helpful resource for you as you consider transitioning to solar power and saving money. It is important to note that we are not tax professionals, and we recommend consulting with a certified public accountant (CPA) regarding Tax Form 5695 and the 26% solar tax credit.
The solar tax credit is a deduction that applies to the entire cost of your solar system. However, it is important to note that in order to claim the credit, you must owe federal income tax in the United States. The 26% tax credit can result in significant savings, as illustrated in the following example:
If the total cost of your solar system is $10,000 the 26% solar tax credit would amount to $2,600. This means that your net investment after the credit would be $7,400 ($10,000 - $2,600). When it comes time to file your taxes, this $2,600 credit would be deducted from the amount you owe, which would effectively reduce your tax liability. For instance, if you owed $20,000 in federal income tax, the $2,600 credit would reduce your liability to $17,400.
It is worth noting that you will need to keep track of your solar system expenses in order to claim the credit. If you purchase your system from Teragy Solar, you will receive an itemized sales receipt that can be used for tax purposes. It is also important to keep in mind that tax laws and regulations are subject to change, and you should consult with a tax professional to ensure that you are taking advantage of all available credits and deductions.
