San Francisco Bay Area Solar Power Incentives for Homeowners

Explore Financial Assistance for Solar Energy

Thanks to recent legislation, the federal governments offer big incentives for homeowners and businesses that invest in solar power. The vast majority of our residential solar installations are cash purchases by our San Francisco Bay Area residential solar customers. You get the best return on investment by purchasing and owning your systems, including the 30% federal tax credit.

Finally, if Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) become active in California, the owner of the system gets the RECs. These can be thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per year for the life of the system. For all these reasons, ownership provides by far the best financial return on a PV system.

Incentives for Commercial Solar Systems

In addition to the tax credit options mentioned above, if it is a commercial solar system, you also get to use accelerated depreciation over just six years on the PV system. This government incentive plus the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) alone can pay for 50% to 60% of the total cost of the system.

In addition, your new solar energy system may be eligible for any of the following:

• Your solar system can qualify for a 30% federal income tax credit
• Commercial solar systems can qualify for federal and state depreciation
