System Costs - System costs vary and depend on a variety of factors: system size, components, and project specific attributes. System incentives also affect the final cost of the system. It is important to factor in the cost of capital used to finance a project. In simplest terms, prices are discussed in terms of dollars per watt of system size. Please contact us to get an estimate.
Federal Tax Credit - The Federal Government passed the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008. The highlights of the bill are below.
  • There is a 30% tax credit (no cap) for the costs of installing residential or commercial solar installations.
  • Filers of Alternative Minimum Tax can claim solar electric installations
  • The credit can be applied to secondary residences.
  • Off-grid systems qualify for the credit.
  • Below is the last year's IRS tax form.
