Existing Solar Incentives for Fountain Valley

If you're looking to purchase your solar energy system vs. lease, you may be eligible for the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), more commonly referred to as the Federal Solar Tax Credit. The tax credit provides a benefit for both home owners and businesses alike to go solar. We recommend that you consult with your tax professional about your eligibility to receive a tax credit or rebate when you do purchase a solar energy system.

Solar Pro Tip: Federal Tax Credit is only eligible for individuals who own their solar panel system. Does not qualify with a solar lease or Power Purchase Agreement.

Residential Federal Energy Tax Credit

Solar ITC equal to 26% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2020.

Solar ITC incentive equal to 22% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2021.

Solar ITC incentive equal to 10% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2022.

The Solar ITC incentive expires in 2023, effectively dropping to 0%.

Commercial Federal Energy Tax Credit

Solar ITC equal to 26% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2020.

Solar ITC equal to 22% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2021.

Solar ITC equal to 10% of the total qualified system costs of installing a solar power system in 2022.

A fixed tax credit rate of 10% will stay in place for installing a solar power systems installed in 2023 and beyond for commercial.

The amount of the Federal Solar ITC can be calculated easily. Simply take the tax percentage for that year, and multiply it by the solar system installation cost.  For instance, if your solar energy system costs $25,000 and is installed in 2022, your tax credit would be $25,000 x 10%= $2,500. If you install your solar energy system in 2020, for the same system, your tax credit would be $25,000 x 26%= $6,500. That means there is a $4,000 difference if you went solar in 2020 vs 2022 for the same system. We advise that you check with your tax professional regarding the tax credit or rebate when purchasing your solar energy system.

If you aren't eligible for the ITC because you don't incur any tax liability as a retiree, considering a lease may match your goals even better. By considering a solar lease or Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you will see a home improvement that will save you on electricity costs by replacing your more expensive bill with a smaller one. Imagine if Southern California Edison offered a 20 year, 35% discount on your electricity costs, would you take it? Installing a solar energy system on your home or business is the best way to save money on your monthly electricity bills and increase the equity of your property.
