Investing in solar energy has never been smarter—especially with the continued support of the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). At Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric, we’ve helped countless homeowners across the Bay Area make the most of their solar investments by guiding them through the ITC and other savings opportunities. If you’re planning to install solar panels or already have a system in mind, the federal tax credit can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
What Is the Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)?
The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit allows homeowners and businesses to deduct a percentage of their solar installation costs from their federal taxes. As of now, the ITC covers 30% of your total solar installation costs, including equipment, labor, permits, and even battery storage. This powerful incentive makes solar more affordable and helps you recover your investment faster.
For example, if your solar installation costs $20,000, the ITC could provide you with a $6,000 credit on your federal tax return.
Who Qualifies for the ITC?
Most homeowners in California qualify, provided they meet the following criteria:
You own (not lease) your solar energy system
The system is installed and operational during the eligible tax year
The system is located at your primary or secondary U.S. residence
The best part? There’s no cap on the amount you can claim. So whether you’re installing a small system or going all in with solar plus battery backup, you can benefit fully.
Why Now Is the Time to Act
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the 30% credit is secured through 2032. However, it begins to decrease in 2033 and will eventually phase out for residential projects. This makes now the ideal time to install your solar panels and lock in the highest possible savings.
At Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric, we don’t just install solar—we help you understand and claim your benefits. Our team will walk you through how the ITC works, provide documentation, and ensure you’re fully prepared when it’s time to file your taxes.
Can You Combine the ITC with Other Incentives?
Absolutely. In California, additional rebates, utility incentives, and financing options can often be stacked with the federal ITC to lower your costs even more. For homeowners considering battery storage (like the Tesla Powerwall), the ITC applies to these systems as well—making energy independence even more affordable.
