Solar Financial Incentives in CA
Hi all,
I am in the process of buying a duplex in San Diego. It needs a roof replacement, electrical work, potential addition of mini-split AC units, and windows are OK but could use update.
I understand there is the 26% federal tax credit for solar installations. However, I have a few additional questions that I'm unclear on, and hoping someone here at BP has been through this and shed some light!
What all can be included in the tax credit? I understand the solar panels and installation costs, as well as the costs to bring electrical panel up to allow solar. However, I have heard that other energy efficiency improvements can be bundled as well, potentially including HVAC and windows. Does anyone know if these are included?- Could the roof replacement be included?
- Is anyone aware of other financial incentives in the state of CA for these categories of work? They are all involved with improving energy efficiency, and I figured CA would be all over incentivising this type of investment, but I have not seen that much actually out there...
I appreciate any knowledge you all can share!
