Federal tax credit
One of the many great reasons to invest in solar panels is the federal tax credit that is available to residential homeowners. The federal tax credit currently runs through the year 2021, so it's always best to be proactive to take advantage of this substantial savings, as you never know when Uncle Sam might change his mind. Given the many benefits of investing in solar, it is likely that there will always be some type of federal tax credit but it is still good to take advantage of this sooner rather than later.
Applicable Federal Tax Credits The current federal tax credit is for solar panels and solar water heaters. There are some requirements to take advantage of these credits, and these are outlined on Energy Star's website here. It is important to make sure you are dealing with an experienced and reputable solar contractor who will not only install an exceptional solar system for your home or business, but also a contractor who fully understands all of the tax advantages that you can utilize to maximize your investment.

Also, these tax credits are not limited to new construction.

So if you have a second home out of state, that will work as well for the federal tax credit. You can learn more about the details of the federal tax credit here.
