Federal and State Incentives
Federal Solar Incentives
The Inflation Reduction Act expanded the Federal Tax Credit for Solar Photovoltaics for solar systems. The credit can be claimed on federal income taxes for a percentage of the cost of a solar photovoltaic system. For solar systems installed between 2022 and 2032, the tax credit is 30%. Energy storage devices sized 3 kilowatt-hours or larger are also eligible for the tax credit. Click here to learn more.
The federal government also offers tax incentives for energy efficiency upgrades, such as heat pumps, energy efficient windows, doors and insulation. Click here to learn more.
Additionally, the DOE recommends utilizing the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE). This database allows you to find a list of financial incentives and regulatory policies that apply to your home by simply entering your zip code. Your installer should be able to help you claim any state and local incentives.
State
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) operates the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)1 with funds from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). WAP is designed to help low-income customers control their energy costs through the installation of weatherization materials and education. The program's goal is to reduce the energy cost burden of low-income households through energy efficiency2. The WAP is administered through subrecipients, which collectively cover all 254 counties of the state.
