Through income tax benefits and other programs, you can reduce the real cost of your New York solar installation.
NYS Solar Tax Credits Make Solar More Affordable
One of the most important NYS solar tax credits is a personal credit that is worth up to $5,000 of the cost of your system. This is a dollar-for-dollar credit based on your solar installation bill.
This NYS solar tax credit is in addition to a popular federal program.
You can get a 26% dollar-for-dollar credit on your federal income tax for 2022. This benefit will be reduced to 22% in 2023. It hasn’t been extended beyond this date. While Congress could renew the benefit, it’s not guaranteed. Now is the best time to book your New York solar installation if you want to make the most of the federal tax credit.
New York residents can also receive a direct incentive paid by NYSERDA to an approved contractor like New York Power Solutions. This amount is based on the size of the system and is taken off the top of your bill.
Federal and NYS solar tax credits are significant. Combined with our affordable financing, it’s easier than ever to get solar for your home.
