#1: Avoid the Summer Peak!

Some homeowners put solar on hold during the winter because it’s not the easiest thing to think about solar during the coldest, wettest, and most cloudy time of the year. So, they don’t start thinking about solar until the days get longer. Every year we see homeowners wanting to go solar at the beginning of the summer, leading to a solar installation jam. Unfortunately, many have to wait until the fall to install their systems.

By purchasing solar panels in the spring, you’ll be prepared for an early installation. Avoid the inevitable summer solar peak!

#2: You’ll be running during peak solar time

Solar panels produce clean energy year-round, even in the winter. But in the summer, solar system operation is at its peak. By installing solar panels early in the spring, you’ll be prepared and reap the benefits of solar energy during the time of year when it’s most profitable. Your energy savings start right away, instead of having to wait another year to experience the best that solar has to offer.

As we reported last year, the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in August and extended the federal solar tax credit for the next 10 years at the full 30% rate. As tax season is upon us, read on to find out more about how the solar tax credit works, its benefits, what improvements have been made, and how to get more information.

Renamed and Extended

The Inflation Reduction Act, now called the Residential Clean Energy Credit, added a number of provisions to the clean energy credit. The primary improvement to the tax code impacting interested solar homeowners is the extension of the tax credit at 30% for the next 10 years. The credit, which started in 2006, has since been one of the strongest drivers in the solar industry and is what makes solar make sense for many people. The credit was scheduled to be phased out and then ended in 2024, but the Inflation Reduction Act contained the necessary provisions to extend and enhance the credit.

The tax credit offsets your tax liability thereby lowering your tax bill. If the allowed credit amount exceeds the amount of tax you owe, you may claim it in consecutive years indefinitely. In order to claim this credit it is imperative to own your system rather than lease it. You can read more about leasing vs buying in our article Leasing vs Buying Solar
