Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
Act 1072 of the 1984 General Assembly establishes an income tax credit for the cost of purchasing and installing qualified solar energy systems. A 20% credit is allowed for solar water heating, active solar space heating, industrial and agricultural process heat provided by solar energy, and photovoltaic systems. A 10% credit is allowed for passive solar space heating systems. The credit is limited to $1,000. The law also provides that the Governor's Office of Energy Resources (OER) write regulations which describe specifically the materials and equipment which qualify for the credit.

All solar energy Systems for which the tax credit is claimed must meet the following criteria:
(a) The collector area of the passive solar space heating systems must face within forty-five degrees (45°) of true South when permanently installed. All other solar systems must face within ninety degrees (90°) of true South when permanently installed;
(b) The collector area of the solar energy system must be able to receive direct sunlight for at least 4 hours between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. during periods of use;
(c) The solar energy system must have a useful life of at least three (3) years;
(d) The total annual energy contribution (considering any summer cooling penalties) must be positive, when compared to conventional designs;
(e) All solar energy systems must be designed and installed in accordance with the applicable State and local codes;
(f) All solar water heating systems for which the tax credit is claimed must meet the following criteria:
1. Batch solar water heating systems must have either moveable insulation for use when the system is receiving minimal insulation, collector area glazing with an R-value of 1.7 or greater or use selective surface materials on the absorption area;
2. Solar water heating systems must have freeze protection mechanisms, or must be designed for easy manual or automatic draining during periods of freezing temperatures;
3. The net collector area of refrigerant compression solar water heating systems must be no less than three square feet per 100 watts of nominal rated compressor power;
4. Until December 31, 1986, batch solar water heating systems must be rated, listed, and/or certified by a recognized organization for compliance with ASHRAE standard for system performance. This requirement does not apply to owner built or site-built solar water heating systems.
5. Until December 31, 1986, the collectors in all solar water heating systems except batch solar water heating systems must be rated, listed, and/or certified by a recognized organization for compliance with the appropriate ASHRAE standards for collector performance. This requirement does not apply to owner-built or site-built solar water heating systems; and
6. After December 31, 1986, the collectors in all solar water heating systems must be rated, listed, and/or certified by a recognized organization for compliance with the most appropriate ASHRAE standard for collector performance. Solar water heating systems or combined solar water heating/space heating systems whose collectors cannot be tested as separate components under the ASHRAE standards must be tested under the appropriate ASHRAE solar water heating system standard. Tests of refrigerant compression solar energy systems must include specific measurement of the input power requirement. These testing requirements do not apply to owner-built or site-built solar water heating systems.

(b) Expenditures for architectural or engineering services, designs or plans directly related to the construction or installation of a qualified solar energy system may be included in the cost of materials and installation;
(c) Only those expenditures made by the taxpayer are eligible for the credit. Materials, installation or funds for materials and installation provided by a federal, State or local government grant must be deducted from the total solar energy system expenditure before the credit is calculated. The remainder of the expenditure provided by the taxpayer's funds is an eligible expenditure. Any federal income tax credit or deduction claimed by the taxpayer for the solar system need not be deducted from the expenditure;
(d) Expenditures claimed for materials and installation of solar energy systems must be reduced by the amount or fair market value of any rebates, bonuses, merchandise, services, or other consideration provided to the taxpayer by the seller in connection with the purchase and installation of the solar energy system;
(e) Finance charges are not an eligible expenditure;

(g) For photovoltaic systems, the cost of the following are eligible expenditures:
1. Photovoltaic cells which collect solar radiation and convert it into electricity;
2. Supporting frames, bracing, and foundations used solely for the photovoltaic system;
3. Electric wiring to the point of connection with the conventional electric system;
4. Power conditioning and control equipment;
5. Associated safety equipment, wiring, and metering devices;
6. Electric storage devices, such as batteries;
7. Reflective devices; and
