Will the Federal Solar Tax Credit expire?
The Federal Solar Tax Credit will expire at the end of 2023. It is expected that government will extend the tax credit again. The Biden administration plans to include a 10-year extension of tax credits in future legislation. There is no guarantee that Congress will approve this, and it may be at a lower rate.
For this reason, we recommend that you try adding solar panels as soon as possible to ensure that you get 26% credit.
