Solar Tax Credits
& Incentives
The Federal Solar Tax Credit
The IRS pays for 30% of your solar system in the form of a Federal Income Tax Credit. This is a dollar-for-dollar return on your solar investment. It is not just lowering your taxable income. This is a physical reimbursement of your federal tax dollars from the US government. You have up to 5 years to claim the full amount of that you are eligible.
What else can you include in your project and receive tax credits on? Other projects can be included that we can tie into the solar panels including tree work and roof replacement. Which are very common projects done together. In fact, half of our customers choose to install a new shingle roof along with the solar panels. We can coordinate and warranty the entire project for you.
​
Take advantage of all the tax credits and incentives associate with solar panels. Inquire with us about removing trees, replacing your shingle roof (we use GAF HD Lifetime shingles) as well.

We have references and reviews available upon request on how simple and easy we make these projects for our customers. Inquire now 845-584-3100 and ask for John.
NEW YORK STATE
Solar INCOME Tax Credit
New York State also contributes in the form of a state income tax credit. The tax credit is 25% of the entire gross system cost (including labor) up to a maximum of $5,000. This is also a dollar-for-dollar return on investment and is a reimbursement of your tax dollars of your State Income Taxes. Generally all of our customers have been able to claim most or all of the full $5,000 state credit per home.
