Federal Renewable Energy Incentives
Households who purchase a solar panel system within the tax year can receive a tax credit to cover 30% of the costs of installing rooftop solar. So, when deciding whether to install solar panels, factor in a 26% to 30% discount.
Kentucky Renewable Energy Incentive
In addition to the federal solar tax credit, Kentucky homeowners have net metering system where excess energy produced by solar panels can be used as credit for their next electric bill. Solar panels can also make your home more valuable, but the trade-off is you will pay property taxes on the increased value of your home from installing solar panels. Across the United States, the average home experiences a 4.1% increase value.
Indiana Renewable Energy Incentive
Unlike Kentucky, you will not pay property taxes on the increased value of your home from installing solar panels. Additionally, Indiana deducts a portion of the cost of installation of solar energy from your state taxes. For more information, contact your county tax office or the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance.
