Federal Solar Tax Credits for Businesses

The ITC and the PTC

Jan 29, 2025 - This program appears to be paused. We are monitoring to see if Congress will act to protect some or all of these tax credits. Check back.

The investment tax credit (ITC) is a tax credit that reduce the upfront cost of a solar system by taking a credit for the full system costs for the year the system completed installation.

The production tax credit (PTC) is a per kilowatt-hour (kWh) tax credit for electricity generated by solar and other qualifying technologies for the first 10 years of a system’s operation.
