Tax breaks, tax credits, and solar incentives in Vermont
Vermont homeowners will not have to pay any additional taxes on their solar investments. The Renewable Systems Sales Tax Exemption and Uniform Capacity Tax and Exemption for Solar frees you from additional taxes as a result of your solar installations.
Tax Breaks
Tax credits
You can reduce the cost of your solar system by up to 26% using the Investment Tax Credit. If you have purchased your solar system and meet the income requirement, you can be eligible for this tax credit!
Solar incentives
Net metering allows solar generators to earn credit for surplus energy your system creates. You can then use those credits in the case of your power going down. Green Mountain Power utilizes a high-quality net metering program!
