Equipment Tax Credits for Primary Residences
Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit
In 2015, the U.S. government renewed the 25C tax credit for Solar Energy Systems installed between 2012-2019. This credit is offered as part of a larger energy-efficiency incentive for home improvements.
The residential renewable energy tax credit incentive provides up 30% on the cost and installation of most of the solar assisted comfort systems available at Charlotte Comfort Systems. The current incentives for installing solar plus the long term savings you’ll receive is well worth considering a solar assisted comfort system for your next home comfort purchase.
