Guide to receiving your tax credit

Background

In October 2008, President George W. Bush signed into

law the Emergency Stabilization Act. Shortly after in

February 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The combined eect of these two laws provides up to a

26% federal tax credit on both the purchase and installation

of qualifying products in renewable technologies. These

technologies include solar-electric property, residential

solar water heating, qualiﬁed small wind energy, and

qualiﬁed geothermal heat pump energy, among others.

Under these laws, VELUX Solar Powered “Fresh Air”

Skylights and other eligible solar-powered VELUX Skylights,

as well as VELUX Residential Rigid Sun Tunnels* with

Solar Night Lights and VELUX Solar Powered Shades

qualify under “Solar Electric Property” expenditures. When

purchased and installed by December 31, 2022, these

VELUX products qualify for a 26% federal solar tax credit.

2021-2022: Save 26% federal tax credit

2023: Save 22% federal tax credit

This tax credit is a direct debit of the taxpayer’s total tax

liability. For more information visit veluxusa.com/go-solar
