Be Informed

The Senate bill contains:

• 30% Federal tax credit for the installation of solar energy systems
• six years for business customers
• four for residential, with a $2000 cap for residential systems
• These provisions are available to all solar technologies: solar thermal, PV, concentrating solar power, and solar hybrid lighting.

  House Bill contains:

• a 15% credit, available for two years, for PV and solar water heating.

Make A Difference

There will be a battle for every U.S. tax dollar in the Senate-House conference committee that determines the fate of the Energy Bill, and you can help determine whether all the tax credits are given to fossil energy, or whether solar gets its "day in the sun."

This is one of the most important actions that you can take to support renewable energy.
