Solar & Wind Energy Incentives, Rebates, Tax Credits
Our Solar & Wind Estimators are driven by our proprietary databases - the industry's largest and most up-to-date - of solar and wind energy incentives and solar/wind energy rebates. We include federal, state, local and utility incentives and rebates for solar and wind energy systems. These include tax credits, tax deductions, property tax relief, purchase incentives (rebates), production incentives, and more. Our solar & wind estimators cover solar electric, solar water heating, solar pool and spa heating, and wind turbines.
Use our Solar & Wind Estimators to see these solar and wind energy incentives and rebates in action and run financial analysis.
Incentive summaries, below, include Federal Investment Tax Credit and other federal tax incentives for solar power and wind energy investments, such as Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation.
To learn more about solar power and wind energy system, renewable energy and energy efficiency incentive and rebate program options reference the links and notes provided below or in our Solar & Wind Estimator

SOLAR-ESTIMATE.ORG is a free, public service. We believe the efficient use of energy and renewable energy systems makes for comfortable living and a more secure future. So we want to help you reduce your energy demands, increase your energy efficiency and help you utilize more energy from renewable energy systems and sources -- like solar electric (PV - photovoltaics), solar space (air), water & pool heating, wind turbines, biomass furnaces and ground-source heat pumps. Our mission is to serve as a convenient, user-friendly means for home and small commercial building owners to make preliminary evaluations of renewable and solar energy options for their location, run financial analysis and help find and verify the experience, quality and business status of certified solar contractors, and other professionals who can design, install and service renewable and solar energy and energy efficient power systems. (See How It Works). As a business verification service, we maintain the largest directory of current local solar installer and solar contractor profiles including extensive customer reviews and ratings of these professionals. Profiles are not limited to solar energy professionals, but include many other renewable energy, design, engineering and support professional services. We also serve as a consolidator of national and region-specific solar and energy efficiency programs, and utility information about renewable energy, solar energy and energy efficient measures. Our software tools and content include: Online solar estimator (solar calculator, analysis) to help you determine the costs and benefits of a renewable or solar energy system for your particular location and building needs, including financial analysis tools. We also provide a trusted means by which you, as a consumer, can review and access solar panel installers, solar contractors, solar pros and other solar, renewable energy and energy efficiency professional services. And we offer answers to frequently asked questions about renewable and solar power, links and resources to current information about solar power, solar energy, renewable energy, energy bill savings, energy efficiency data, solar incentives, tax credits, rebates and other programs and helpful information so you can learn about solar energy, help us promote renewable and solar power adoption and, hopefully, install a solar system for your home, building, company or community and/or improve your energy efficiency and use.
