Commercial Tax Credits
Businesses and nonprofit entities can apply for the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The PTC is an annually adjusted credit that reduces your business’s federal income tax liability for the first 10 years of the system’s operation. The PTC can provide considerable long-term benefits if you have a large system installed in a sunny location.
Similarly, the ITC is a tax credit applied during the year the solar system is installed. This credit essentially reimburses a percentage of the cost of installing qualifying systems on your business. This is usually the best choice for smaller systems or those qualifying for a low-income bonus as stipulated under the credit terms. Further, the ITC covers solar PV panels, inverters, and racking systems. It also covers all equipment required to produce electricity, installation costs, circuit breakers, transformers, surge arrestors, and energy storage devices. Thus, the ITC is often the best choice for small businesses and those installing smaller PV systems on their property.
It’s important to note that businesses cannot claim both the ITC and PTC; however, it’s possible to claim both credits if you opt to install co-located systems, such as solar storage, etc., that qualify under IRS guidelines. If your business chooses to pursue both the ITC and PTC, it’s advisable to discuss this with your accountant to confirm compliance.
