What is the federal solar tax credit?

The federal residential solar energy credit is a tax credit that can be claimed on federal income taxes for a percentage of the cost of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
The system must be placed in service during the tax year and generate electricity for a home located in the United States. There is no bright-line test from the IRS on what constitutes “placed in service,” but the IRS has equated it with completed installation.
In December 2020, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, which provides a 26% tax credit for systems installed in 2020-2022, and 22% for systems installed in 2023. (Systems installed before December 31, 2019 were eligible for a 30% tax credit.) The tax credit expires starting in 2024 unless Congress renews it.
There is no maximum amount that can be claimed.

Am I eligible to claim the federal solar tax credit?

You might be eligible for this tax credit if you meet all of the following criteria:
Your solar PV system was installed between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2023.
The solar PV system is located at your primary or secondary residence in the United States, or for an off-site community solar project, if the electricity generated is credited against, and does not exceed, your home’s electricity consumption.(WE CAN OVERSHOOT USAGE IN PA) The IRS has permitted a taxpayer to claim a section 25D tax credit for purchase of a portion of a community solar project.
You own the solar PV system (i.e., you purchased it with cash or through financing but you are neither leasing nor are in an arrangement to purchase electricity generated by a system you do not own). NO PPA!
The solar PV system is new or being used for the first time. The credit can only be claimed on the “original installation” of the solar equipment.
