Are solar photovoltaic systems eligible for a tax credit?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed in 2020 and 2021 are eligible for a 26% tax credit. In August 2022, Congress passed an extension of the investment tax credit (ITC,) raising it to 30% for installations between 2022-2032. (Systems installed on or before December 31, 2019, were also eligible for a 30% tax credit.)

Which battery storage systems qualify for a solar energy credit?

Battery storage systems that can store at least 3 kilowatt-hours of capacity qualify for the credit. The battery doesn't have to be charged exclusively by solar panels. Any battery meeting the capacity requirement qualifies – whether charged by solar, wind, grid power, or any combination. This expands the credit substantially.

Are solar panels tax deductible?
