Solar incentives are available to home and business alike. The incentives come in the form of tax credits or cash, depending upon what state you live in. The federal government gives tax credits. Some local states give cash or tax credits. These tax credits can be used for alternative energy systems such as a solar electric system for your home, solar water heaters, solar thermal heating systems, wind and geothermal systems. The US Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy set the guidelines for you to receive the incentives through your income tax return.
