Solar panels are made of special cells (PV or photovoltaic cells) that absorb sunlight and produce an electrical current.
In order for your home to use that electrical current (known as DC or Direct Current), it must be converted into AC (or Alternating Current), which is done through micro inverters that are attached to each solar panel.
Once the energy has been converted, it runs through your electrical panel, gets distributed within your home, and can be used to power your appliances, lights, and more.
The following solar tax credits and incentives are available in Ohio. To find out if you’re eligible, we recommend contacting our team for more information and speaking with a tax professional who can help.
The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for those who purchase solar energy systems for residential, commercial or utility scale properties. Through this legislation, all solar systems installed in 2023 are eligible for a federal tax credit. If you qualify, you could reduce the cost of your system by up to 26% (Source: Energy.gov).
Ohio offers a state tax credit of up to $1,000 for residential solar installations (Source: dsireusa.org).
Ohio has a statewide net metering policy, which means you can get bill credits for excess energy your system produces. When solar customers generate more energy than they use in a month, the customer will be billed the appropriate monthly charges and credited for net metering energy with a cumulative kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit on their bill. The credit is applied to the next month’s bill. The value of net metering credits is determined by your utility company (Source: energysage.com).
