Federal Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit
|
|
|
|
Established by the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005, the federal tax credit
for residential energy property initially applied to solar-electric systems,
solar water heating systems and fuel cells. The Energy Improvement and Extension
Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424) extended the tax credit to small wind-energy systems and
geothermal heat pumps, effective January 1, 2008. Other key revisions included
an eight-year extension of the credit to December 31, 2016, the ability to take
the credit against the alternative minimum tax, and the removal of the $2,000
credit limit for solar-electric systems beginning in 2009. The credit was further
enhanced in February 2009 by The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(H.R. 1: Div. B, Sec. 1122, p. 46), which removed the maximum credit amount for
all eligible technologies (except fuel cells) placed in service after 2008.
