The government will provide a credit for buying solar on form 3468, line 2b. Here is an example calculation of that credit:
| Solar Panel | = | $1,800.00 |
| Batteries | = | 600.00 |
| Total | = | $2,400.00 |
Total on line 2b of IRS Form 3468 is
$2,400.00 x 30% = $720.00.
Total savings will vary depending on additional allowances provided by each state. Check with your particular state for these allowances.
