Federal Tax Incentives
Federal Tax Incentives
The US Federal Government offers a solar energy tax credit, applicable to your primary and second home, i.e. your RV or Boat! As long as there is a head and galley onboard and it is docked/parked in the United States, your vessel/RV qualifies.
"Solar PV systems installed in 2020 and 2021 are eligible for a 26% tax credit. In August 2022, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, raising it to 30% for the installation of which was between 2022-2032. (Systems installed on or before December 31, 2019 were also eligible for a 30% tax credit.) It will decrease to 26% for systems installed in 2033 and to 22% for systems installed in 2034. The tax credit expires starting in 2035 unless Congress renews it.
There is no maximum amount that can be claimed."
