Tax Credit information

On October 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the Emergency Stabilization Act followed by President Barack Obama signing into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) on February 17, 2009. On August 16, 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which includes clean energy tax credits.

The combined effect of these laws provides a 30% tax credit* on both the purchase and installation of qualifying products in renewable technologies such as solar electric property, electric vehicles, solar panels, heat pumps and other energy-efficient home improvements.

Under these laws VELUX Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights and other eligible VELUX Skylights with Go Solar, as well as VELUX Residential Rigid Sun Tunnels® with the Solar Night Light and VELUX Solar Powered Blinds qualify under “Solar Electric Property” expenditures when purchased and installed from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2034.

This tax credit is a direct debit of the taxpayers total tax liability. For more information visit veluxusa.com/go-solar
