Tax Incentives for Switching to Solar Power in 2023

If you have been considering transitioning your household to solar energy power, it has just been announced that 2023 is the best year to do it. Due to tax incentives taking place this year, you will save more money on your investment in solar energy than ever before.

The cost of installing solar panels has significantly decreased in the past couple of years, and tax credits will help you to reach your guaranteed return on investment even faster.

Tax Incentives for Installing Solar Panels This Year.

Under The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, individuals can file for tax credits toward many of their investments in 2023.

Some of the credits included in the act are Residential Energy Credits. These credits are provided in connection with household investments in clean, renewable energy sources.

The Residential Energy Credits offer a 30% credit of your costs in installing solar panels towards your federal taxes. This current credit is the largest credit towards solar energy ever seen.

By filling out Tax Form 5695 homeowners will receive credit towards their solar energy purchases, including solar electricity, solar water heating, small wind energy, geothermal heat pumps, and qualified fuel cell property cost.

While the installation of solar panels is an upfront investment, it comes with a guaranteed return on investment. Once you break even on the installation cost, you will see a significant difference from your previous energy bill, as the average price of solar energy is only $2.86 per watt.

Other clean energy purchases that are covered under the Residential Energy Credits include electric vehicles, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and alternative fuels.

Other Incentives for Installing Solar Panels

Aside from saving money, the transition to solar energy comes with many other positive outcomes. The goal is to decrease the burning of fossil fuels, a non-renewable resource which contributes to current environmental issues like climate change and the global warming of our planet.

Solar energy is a reliably self-sufficient energy source. Those who will transition to renewable resources this year will be independent of an energy company and, therefore, no longer at will to the increasing prices of non-renewable energy bills.

You will feel the personal gratification that comes with using an energy source that does not harm the environment. Rotraut Bockstahler, 86, of Sarasota, Florida, and her husband referred to their household transition to solar as “one of the most positive decisions we made for our living in Florida. We have saved money, made a contribution to fighting climate change and were fortunate enough to have electricity every time there was an outage in the electric grid.”
