Rebates and Tax Incentives

The American Recovery Reinvestment Act of 2009

The recent Economic Stimulus Act of February 2009 has extended and expanded residential renewable energy tax incentives. These incentives make the cost and installation of renewable energy systems extremely cost effective and competitive compared to the cost of conventional systems in a home. Highlights of the stimulus act include:

- Removal of all caps on the tax credits for residential renewable energy systems

- Federal tax incentive is now 30% of the cost of qualified solar hot water, solar photovoltaic, geothermal heat pumps, and small wind turbine systems.

See our Pricing page for examples of system pricing with these new incentives.
