& Tax Credits

Federal Incentives

The federal government offers significant tax incentives for solar installations.

30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

Commercial solar installations qualify for the 30% federal ITC through December 2027. This directly reduces your federal tax liability dollar-for-dollar.

Up to 30% off your total system cost

Commercial installations only. Consult a tax professional for eligibility.

MACRS Accelerated Depreciation

Commercial solar fence systems qualify for 5-year Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System depreciation, allowing you to recover the cost of your system through tax deductions over 5 years.

Recover system cost over 5 years

Commercial installations only.

Residential ITC Status

The residential clean energy credit for purchased systems expired at the end of 2025. However, third-party ownership structures (solar leases, PPAs) may still qualify for the commercial ITC, passing savings to homeowners.

Third-party structures may still qualify

Consult a tax professional for current eligibility.

Florida State Incentives

Florida offers some of the best state-level solar incentives in the country.

6% savings

Sales Tax Exemption

Solar energy equipment is exempt from Florida’s 6% sales tax. On a $30,000 system, that’s $1,800 in savings you keep in your pocket.

100% exempt

Property Tax Exemption

100% of your solar system’s value is excluded from property tax assessment under FL Statute 193.624. Your property value goes up, but your taxes don’t.

No property tax increase from solar

Protected

Solar Rights Act (Statute 163.04)

Florida law prohibits HOAs and local governments from preventing solar installations. Your right to generate solar energy is protected by state statute.

HOAs cannot block solar fence installation
