In Addition to drastically reducing your electric bill, there’s another good reason to install solar on your home. The federal government will help you pay for it.
You can receive a 30% federal tax credit if you install a Solar PV system. It’s very easy to get a tax credit. Fill out IRS form 5695 and include it with your regular annual tax return.
