Solar Tax Benefits for Homeowners in Connecticut:

Connecticut's homeowners have numerous solar tax benefits available to them. These incentives make switching to solar energy more accessible, and here are the key ones you should know:

Federal Solar Tax Credit:

The Federal Solar Tax Credit, also known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), allows homeowners who install solar panels on their property to deduct up to 30% of the total cost from federal taxes. This can significantly reduce upfront costs associated with installing a solar panel system; for instance, if it costs $20,000 then you can deduct $6000 from taxes.

State Solar Tax Credits:

Connecticut offers many state-level solar tax credits that can help homeowners save money on their solar panel installation. Here are the key state-level credits you should know about:

Property Tax Exemption: Homeowners who install solar panels on their property are exempt from paying additional property taxes due to the increased value of their home.

Sales Tax Exemption: Homeowners who purchase a solar panel system are exempt from paying sales tax on the system's purchase price.

Netting Tariff:

Net metering is a policy that permits homeowners with solar panels to receive credit for electricity they generate and send back to the grid. In Connecticut, homeowners receive an electricity bill credit equal to their retail rate plus 3.18 Cents per kW (EverSource Only) for sending back kWh of energy. Therefore, homeowners with solar panels can save money on their energy bill by producing their own energy and sending energy back into the grid.
