SolarTech installed my solar panels over 10 years ago now, and they are still performing as strong as ever! I can’t recommend SolarTech high enough as they have helped me with any issues or questions I’ve had with my solar over the years. They did a fantastic job on the install, and their customer service is second to none.

Satisfied Customer
I was contemplating installing solar system at my house for several months. When one of my friends recommended Ali, I called him up just to enquire and get some estimates. After my discussion with Ali, I was convinced that SolarTech was the right people to go to for installing my solar system. They are very professional, detail-oriented, and well-organized. I was happy with their pricing, the quality of their work, and the process.

The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax incentive that allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes. This credit applies to both residential and commercial systems installed through 2032. After 2032, the credit will decrease to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034. There’s no maximum amount you can claim, making it one of the most valuable incentives for going solar. At SolarTech, we help our customers maximize this credit as part of our comprehensive solar installation service across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado.
You may qualify for the Solar ITC if you install a new solar system on your primary or secondary residence in the United States and have sufficient tax liability. Both homeowners and renters can claim the credit, but landlords cannot claim it for properties they don’t live in. If you use part of your home for business (up to 20%), you can still claim the full credit. For business use exceeding 20%, the credit is based on the percentage allocated to non-business use. SolarTech’s consultants can help determine your eligibility during your free personalized quote process.
The Solar ITC covers the cost of solar panels, inverters, mounting equipment, and battery storage technology (for systems installed after 2022). It also includes labor costs for on-site preparation, assembly, and installation, as well as wiring and piping to connect the system to your home. However, it doesn’t cover traditional roofing materials that primarily serve structural functions. When calculating your credit, you’ll need to subtract certain subsidies, rebates, or incentives that are considered purchase-price adjustments. SolarTech’s experts can help you understand exactly which components of your installation qualify.
To claim the Solar ITC, you’ll need to file IRS Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) with your federal tax return for the year the system was installed and placed in service—not when it was purchased. The credit is nonrefundable, meaning it can only reduce your tax liability to zero, but any excess credit can be carried forward to future tax years. SolarTech provides our customers with all the necessary documentation about their solar installation to make claiming the credit straightforward, though we always recommend consulting with a tax professional for personalized advice.
Yes, you can combine the federal Solar ITC with state, local, and utility incentives to maximize your savings. However, some financial incentives may affect how you calculate your federal tax credit. For example, utility rebates typically reduce your system’s cost basis before calculating the 30% credit. State tax credits generally don’t reduce your federal credit amount. SolarTech’s team stays current on available incentives in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, and can help you understand how to optimize all available programs for your specific situation during your solar consultation.
Leasing a solar energy system for your home will save you money on your monthly utility costs as well. While the savings are usually a little less attractive than owning solar panels, you’ll still save significantly over the traditional costs of electricity from the utility. Leasing carries several other advantages, including worry-free system performance for the length of the contract. That means any equipment maintenance or replacement, even after the product warranty expires, is the responsibility of the leasing companies.
Lease terms tend to be 20-25 years and often come with a production guarantee. For homeowners who cannot absorb the Federal Tax Credit, leases are an attractive option. A solar lease allows the third-party owner (TPO) to absorb the solar tax credit, then pass some of the savings on to the homeowner.
