Save Money with Solar Panel Tax Credits in Texas
With the rising cost of living, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a welcome relief for homeowners and businesses looking to invest in renewable energy. This historic legislation provides financial incentives for solar energy projects, electrical upgrades, and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
Inflation Reduction Act Incentives
The IRA offers financial benefits for homeowners and businesses transitioning to clean energy solutions. These include:
​
-
Solar Upgrades: Homeowners who installed solar panels before 2023 are eligible for a one-time $2,000 rebate. A 30% federal tax credit is available for new solar installations, making the switch to solar more affordable than ever.
-
Electrical Panel Upgrades: To accommodate modern energy demands, homeowners upgrading their electrical panels can receive rebates of up to $2,000.
-
EV Charging Stations: With electric vehicles becoming the future of transportation, the IRA offers up to $1,000 in rebates for EV charging station installations.
Solar Tax Credits
Switching to solar energy comes with additional tax incentives. Here's how you can optimize your benefits.
​
-
Choose a Retail Electric Provider with a Solar Buyback Plan: Generating excess solar power allows you to sell it back to the grid.
-
Secure Proper Insurance: Protect your solar investment by ensuring your system is covered under your homeowner’s policy.
-
Claim Your Tax Credit: The federal government offers a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for residential and commercial solar installations. To claim this benefit, file IRS Form 5695 when submitting your tax return.
-
Apply for a Property Tax Exemption: Installing solar panels will not increase your property taxes. However, you must complete the necessary exemption form through your local tax assessor's office.
