2016 may be the last year the government offers tax credits for

residential solar.

Did you know, you could save up to 76% on energy costs by switching to solar?

Homeowners with solar panels installed before December 31, 2016 can claim 30% of the cost as a tax credit, with no ceiling.

The solar tax credit takes the cost of installation directly off your annual tax payment, rather than deducting it from taxable income.
