You may be eligible for solar tax credits!
*Some tax credit values are based on exact cost of your system. We estimate these values here using the average cost of an Outset Solar system of $18,780. If your system cost is lower, your credit will also be less than what is displayed here.
**Tax credit eligibility is not guaranteed by Outset Solar. You should consult a tax professional to determine exactly which solar tax credits you may be eligible for.

What is the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit?
What's the Deal?
If you're a U.S. resident paying federal taxes, here's some good news. The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) can help you save money on solar installation costs.
How Does It Work?
You get a 30% credit on your federal taxes, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. For example, spend $19,000 on a solar system, and your federal tax bill goes down by 30%, which is $5,700. If your tax bill is less than $5,700, the extra credit carries over to the next year. Quick note: you won't get it as cash, but it'll reduce your future taxes.
What's the Catch?
Keep an eye on the calendar. The 30% deal drops to 26% in 2033 and then 22% in 2034. After 2035, it might vanish unless Congress gives it a green light.
