Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) — 30% through 2032
The federal Investment Tax Credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of solar installation costs from federal taxes. On a $24,000 system this means $7,200 back. The credit applies to the year of installation and can carry forward if it exceeds your tax liability. The 30% rate is locked through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Always consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
