QUALIFYING FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA SOLAR TAX CREDIT
All of our customers with a taxable income qualify for the U.S. federal tax credit (it’s technically called the Investment Tax Credit). South Carolina customers may also qualify for a state tax credit in addition to the federal credit.
The South Carolina state tax credit is up to 25% on all eligible costs to a maximum of $3,500 or 50% of a person’s tax liability, whichever amount is less when applied to the individual’s yearly taxes. Below you will find instructions to help you apply for your state solar tax credit.
