Homeowner’s Guide to the Inflation Reduction Act.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers homeowners tax credits and rebates to improve and electrify their homes by swapping out older, less-efficient technologies for newer ones, including solar panels, heating and cooling systems and more.
Additionally, the Solar Investment Tax Credit allows homeowners to use a part of the cost of a solar power system to reduce their income taxes owed. The U.S. Department of Energy says the tax savings on an average solar installation can reach $7,500.*
*The actual percentage of the cost you can claim varies based on the year your system was activated.
Why now? The high price of waiting.
- Rising Energy Costs: Dependence on non-renewable energy means dealing with unpredictable and increasing energy bills.
- Missed Financial Incentives: Overlooking substantial tax credits and incentives that are designed to lower the cost of going solar.
- Environmental Impact: Contributing to carbon emissions, ignoring our global and personal carbon footprint.
The importance of homes powered by clean energy.
- Reduced Energy Bills: Solar energy can significantly cut your electricity costs.
- Increased Property Value: Homes with solar installations are more attractive to buyers, often selling faster and at higher prices.
- Environmental Preservation: Solar energy is clean, renewable and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a healthier planet.
Together, we can contribute to a healthier planet, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for all.

Homeowner FAQs
A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of income tax you would otherwise owe. For example, claiming a $1,000 federal tax credit reduces your federal income taxes due by $1,000. The federal tax credit is sometimes referred to as an Investment Tax Credit, or ITC, though is different from the ITC offered to businesses that own solar systems.
