Solar tax savings

Turn a tax bill into a solar asset that pays you back

A $300K contribution to a California flip partnership can unlock roughly $237,600 in federal Investment Tax Credit, $175,824 in federal depreciation, and $71,102 in state depreciation — plus about $5,926 per year for 20 years (~$118,520) in project cash flow. You redirect dollars you'd send to the IRS into a real, appreciating renewable-energy asset.

  • Investment Tax Credit: dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes owed
  • Accelerated depreciation offsets W-2, business, and capital gains income
  • 20–30 years of cash flow from the energy your project produces

Credit carryback

Get a refund on taxes you already paid

Most people treat solar tax credits as a current-year play. They overlook credit carryback: buy enough solar to generate excess credits and the IRS refunds taxes your client already paid in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

That changes who solar is for. Because three prior years of tax capacity stack on top of the current year, clients with as little as $300K of W-2 income can now use it — and it's strongest for S-corp owners, whose business income avoids the excess business loss cap.

At $300K income, the prior-year refund plus year-one benefits typically pay the client back in the same tax year. Higher-income profiles (e.g. $1M/yr, ~$940K purchase, ~$662K refund) can take up to two tax years to fully realize the payback.
