Many policies that advance the growth of solar energy are established at the state level. This can include state tax incentives for solar, which provide an additional tax benefit on top of the federal ITC. Other state policies, discussed below, can include:
The full cost of a new solar photovoltaic (PV) array can be added to a regular FHA-insured mortgage at the time of the home purchase or refinance. Installation of the PV system takes place after closing. It is that simple. Benefits? Interest on the full mortgage (with PV cost) may be deductible on your tax return filing.
Before starting the process of powering your home with solar energy, homeowners should investigate their energy use and consider potential efficiency upgrades. Homeowners should be well aware of their total electricity usage, and consider low-cost and easy-to-implement efficiency measures before choosing solar.
In certain markets where PPAs are not permitted by law, solar leases may be the only third-party option available. In other states, however, neither solar leases nor PPAs are permitted. State clean energy funds are another way to support renewable energy, energy efficiency, or low-income energy programs.
At the federal level, several key policies, programs, and regulations help promote solar energy deployment. Many of these policies help reduce the capital costs associated with developing new solar projects, making solar a more attractive option for communities across America.
