There are many benefits of solar energy, including doing your part to owning an environmentally-friendly home or business. By using this renewable and clean energy that we have in abundance here in Albuquerque you are helping preserve our environment.

In addition, there are several tax incentives for using solar energy to make the conversion as affordable as possible. Albuquerque’s solar contractor, 310 Solar Energy, LLC, can install your solar energy system and help you with the tax paperwork to ensure you get the credits you deserve.

A Brief Summary of Solar Tax Credits

This summary is meant to give you a general idea of the incentives available to you. However, we can also calculate the exact incentives that relate to specific systems that we design for your particular needs.

To help offset the cost of converting to solar energy, both the Federal government and the State of New Mexico offer solar tax credits for both photovoltaic and thermal systems. These tax incentives for using solar energy are available to help make switching to solar energy an affordable process for you:

• Federal Tax Credit: This is a 30% tax credit on the total amount of your system. This credit is eligible to be carried forward for up to 10 years.
• State of New Mexico Tax Credit: This is a 10% tax credit, up to a maximum of $9,000, on the total price of your solar energy system. It, too, can be carried forward for up to 10 years.
