Highlights of the Solar Energy Property Tax Credit:
Federal: IRS Code
- Tax credit can be claimed by taxpayers on Form 3468
- Solar energy property is defined by the code (code section 48(a)(2)(A)(i)(II)) as equipment that uses solar energy to generate electricity, to heat or cool a structure, or to provide solar process heat (but not for a swimming pool)
- The credit is not allowed for property unless it is depreciable or amortizable; its construction, reconstruction or erection is completed by the taxpayer; and it meets the official quality and performance standards in effect at the time of acquisition
In addition to federal tax incentives, customers of Eye Trax may be eligible for other state, local and utility incentives that promote renewable energy. Additional information regarding these incentives can be found on the DSIRE (Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency) website at dsireusa.org.
Extension of Tax Credit until 2017
On October 3, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives passed historic legislation that extends the 30% solar tax credit until 2017. This creates a significant opportunity for both existing and future Eye Trax customers who elect to utilize solar-powered surveillance camera.
