The Energy Policy Act of 2005 included two ways to receive a tax credit for solar energy from the federal government.

Over half of the states in the nation offer solar energy rebates offset the cost of solar power systems, New Jersey rebates cover more than 50% of retail costs. An additional income tax incentive is offered in 17 states. Add it all up and some homeowners are installing PV systems for a third of the retail price.....Read the entire article.
