Turn the Solar Investment Tax Credit into six-figure tax savings

Every $100K of solar assets purchased generates about $140K in year-one tax benefits through the federal Investment Tax Credit and depreciation. That’s money you’d otherwise just pay the IRS. Offset up to 90% of this year’s income taxes and get a refund on taxes paid as far back as 2023.

Purchases start at $75K. Book a tax strategy session with us to see how much you can save.

I had a big year in 2025 and was looking at a huge tax bill. I bought into a project that September and it covered most of what I owed.

A big chunk of my shares vested in 2024 and the tax bill that year was brutal. The credits reached back to it. I didn’t know that was even possible.

How it works

Cut up to 90%
of your ordinary income tax

A solar purchase gives you two federal benefits at once. The Investment Tax Credit cuts your tax bill dollar-for-dollar, and accelerated depreciation cuts your taxable income. State depreciation follows over five years.

Your purchase is levered, so your cash controls a project about 2x its size. That’s why the benefits can exceed what you put in, and the debt is secured by the asset.

  • Claim the federal Investment Tax Credit, dollar-for-dollar
  • Carry excess credits back for a refund on taxes paid since 2023, or forward to future years
  • Own a project that pays you income for 20+ years

Your exact benefit depends on your income, your state, and the project. We’ll calculate it with you on a free tax strategy session.
