Federal Solar Tax Credits

The solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for solar panel systems installed on residential and commercial properties. See our article ‘How Does the Federal Tax Credit Work?’ for an explanation of what it is and how it works.

The ITC is currently a 30% federal tax credit for new solar installations.

NOTE: The ITC was updated in August 2022.

Solar Inverters

Inverters convert direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity that powers the devices in your home or business. Iconic Energy always selects an inverter that is the best fit for your solar panel array.

Below are data sheets for the inverters we use the most. We’ve also included a brochure on the features and benefits of string inverters.
