While San Antonio and Texas do not have as robust a solar incentive program as other areas in the country, the few available policies and incentives can make it easier to go solar. Below is an overview of the federal, state and local solar incentives and rebates available to San Antonio residents.
Federal Incentives
Available nationwide, the federal solar tax credit is an income-tax incentive that allows homeowners to save 30% on their solar system’s purchase cost. If you install a home solar system, you can deduct 30% of the total value from your following year’s income taxes. The savings reduce your system’s payback period, increasing your savings overall.
With the federal credit, formally known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), the average 6 kW system cost of $15,060 in San Antonio would drop by $4,518.
Statewide Incentives
Texas offers a few solar incentives that you can take advantage of whether you live in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin or elsewhere.
