The Ever-Changing Tax Landscape

OE Solar knows you're not an expert in Solar Tax Credits, that's why you work with us. This does not mean that we know everything there is to know about it, but we stay abreast to the new guidance provided by the IRS to keep your company in compliance with the tax savings we are modeling for you.  We work with your CPA, who understands your exact business and tax situation, to capture as many credits possible to make the economics of the system benefit your bottom line.

With OE Solar extensive experience and new Joint Venture we can help you transform your land into a power producing energy farm that helps the community.  With a farm that is over 1MW in size there are Tax Credits that can be taken to help the project become more economically feasible. See ITC Tax Adders below.

At OE Solar, we prioritize adherence to certified payroll and Apprenticeship program guidelines, ensuring that our projects meet the necessary criteria to confidently apply for the 30% federal ITC tax credit. With over a decade of experience working with government apprenticeship programs and certified payroll requirements for public works, we leverage this expertise to fulfill the ITC requirements, allowing our customers to qualify for the 24% adder. When combined with the standard 6%, this adds up to the 30% tax credit advertised by our competitors.

OE Solar is already in compliance with these requirements, ensuring that in 2024, you won't miss out on substantial savings. Our specialization in Commercial and Government Public Works projects makes our position in the market more crucial than ever.

Solar Tax Incentives

INCENTIVES TO CONSIDER

ITC - Investment Tax Credit

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a cornerstone federal incentive for solar energy systems in the United States. It allows individuals and businesses to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes. As of 2025, the ITC remains one of the most widely used and impactful clean energy tax credits.

 

While the PTC provides a credit based on electricity production, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) offers a credit based on a percentage of the upfront investment cost. As of 2025, the ITC remains at 30% for eligible solar projects. ​Project developers can choose between the PTC and ITC, depending on which provides greater financial benefit for their specific project

Credit Value
  • The base ITC is 30% of the total project cost for eligible systems.

  • This includes equipment, labor, permitting, and certain soft costs.

  • There is no dollar cap on the amount that can be claimed.

 

Bonus credits may apply that increase the ITC up to 50% in certain cases:

  • +10% for meeting domestic content requirements

  • +10% for projects in energy communities (e.g., brownfields, former coal towns)

  • +10% for projects on low-income property or with qualified LMI benefits (under § 48(e))

 

Eligibility
  • Applies to both residential (Section 25D) and commercial/utility-scale (Section 48) systems

  • Projects must begin construction by the applicable IRS guidance deadlines to claim the credit

  • For commercial systems, any unused portion of the credit can be carried forward for 20 years

 

Prevailing Wage & Apprenticeship Requirements

For projects over 1 MWac, to qualify for the full 30% ITC, developers must:

  • Pay prevailing wages to laborers and mechanics

  • Meet minimum thresholds for hiring apprentices in construction and installation

Failing to meet these conditions may reduce the ITC to 6%, unless the project is exempt (e.g., <1 MW or under safe harbor rules).

 

Transferability 
  • Starting in 2023, Section 6418 allows project owners to sell the ITC to unrelated third parties for cash (non-taxable), providing liquidity for developers.

  • This opens new financing options for entities without enough tax liability to use the credit themselves.

 

Stacking with Other Incentives

The ITC can be claimed alongside:

  • MACRS depreciation (for businesses)

  • Local/state incentives

  • Federal and state production-based incentives (PTC, where applicable)

  • Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) grants or rebates, though those may affect eligible cost basis
