The end of the year is coming, and that means the last chance for new tax deductions for 2008. There has been a lot of press about federal and state tax incentives for solar panel and wind turbine installations, both commercial and private, but few people I’ve spoken with know what their state is doing to support residential clean power generation. And that doesn’t count the incentives for energy conservation systems and expenses.
I recommend going to the website of the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency. This site has information on all the tax breaks and assistance programs for residential and corporate clean energy systems, broken down state by state in great detail. The site is very well made and easy to navigate, and the information there is quite trustworthy. Take some time and check it out; it may surprise you to see how much government support is there for homeowners to invest in clean green.
