How to Find Tax Credits & Subsidies for Solar Roofing
May 14th, 2008 — Consumer Roof Info, Solar Roofing
With energy prices rising to record levels, consumers and businesses are looking for alternatives. One alternative is solar energy captured by roofing tiles, shingles and panels. Solar technology is advancing at a rapid rate, offering new options for those who want to take the making of electricity into their own hands.
Solar roofing offers clean, efficient, free electricity. While the costs for the equipment and installation of the solar systems are usually not in the average consumer budget, those costs are starting to decline with advances in technology. Tax credits, government subsidies and incentives are also footing a large chunk of the bill. Solar roofing systems are starting to look more attractive for the consumer every day.
Show me the money
But where are these credits and incentives? There are literally hundreds of Federal, State and Municipal tax credits and incentives out there. Hundreds.
The Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) is an ongoing project of the North Carolina Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The DSIRE website provides a fast and convenient method for accessing information about renewable energy and energy efficiency incentives and regulatory policies administered by federal and state agencies, utilities, and local organizations. DSIRE comprehensively tracks tax incentives, grants, loans, rebates, industry recruitment, bond programs, and production incentives. DSIRE also tracks rules, regulations and policies making this website your one-stop shop for information.
Visit the DSIRE website FAQ Page for more information.
