Federal tax incentives are available on solar LED lighting systems offered by Spark Lighting.
What types of solar electric systems qualify for the 30% Federal Tax Credit?
- ANY complete solar power package, for your business.
What determines eligibility for the Federal Tax Credit?
- If the federal tax credit exceeds your tax liability, the excess amount may be carried forward to the succeeding taxable year.
- There is no ceiling on the tax credit.
- Applies to equipment AND installation costs.
