30% Federal Solar Tax Credit – Save on Solar
Take control of your energy costs and save big with solar. The Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) lets homeowners and businesses deduct 30% of the cost of a solar system—including panels, batteries, and installation—from federal taxes.
How It Works
-
Install Your System – RES handles design and installation.
-
Claim the Credit – Reduce your federal taxes by 30% of your system’s cost.
-
Carryover Benefits – Unused credit rolls over to future years.
Example: A $30,000 system could save $9,000.
Eligibility
-
System installed between 2022–2034 (earlier installations also eligible).
-
Installed at a U.S. residence you own.
-
You own the system (cash or financed). Leases or power-purchase agreements do not qualify.

Battery backup systems installed with solar (3 kWh+ capacity) are included.
What Expenses Qualify
-
Solar panels, inverters, wiring, mounting equipment
