From Environment America (https://environmentamerica.org/):
The new year brought an exciting victory for solar in the U.S.
A federal solar policy called the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) has helped the U.S. solar industry grow by more than 10,000 percent since it was implemented in 2006, and at the end of last year, this important solar program was extended.1
This tax credit can help even more people go solar in the coming year — and that could mean you!
The ITC is a 26 percent tax credit for solar systems on residential and commercial properties, and it’s one of the most important policy mechanisms our federal government has to support the growth of rooftop solar. Even though we’ve seen incredible progress over the past decade, solar energy still only represents 2.5 percent of energy production in our country, and we need all hands on deck.2,3

We have the technology to turn the sunlight warming our rooftops into energy that doesn’t pollute our warming planet. With programs like the ITC, we can kick solar energy production into high gear and involve even more people in the movement toward a clean, renewable energy future.
