FAQs
Are there no income requirements for the federal tax credit? Can you provide a link to prove that?
No, there are no income requirements for the 30% federal tax credit for solar batteries or other residential clean energy equipment. This tax credit is available to homeowners regardless of their income level, as long as they meet other eligibility requirements, such as the equipment being installed at a residence in the U.S. and the system meeting specific capacity requirements (e.g., batteries must have at least 3 kWh capacity).
However, note that this is a non-refundable tax credit, meaning it can only reduce your tax liability to zero; any unused credit can be carried forward to future tax years but does not result in a tax refund if you don’t owe any tax.
For detailed information, you can refer to the IRS and Department of Energy’s guidelines on clean energy credits:
