Counties We Serve In Minnesota
Federal Investment Tax Credit – 30%
Minnesota residents can take advantage of the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, which equals 30% of the costs of new, qualified clean energy property for your home, installed anytime from 2022 through the end of 2025.
The credit is nonrefundable, so the credit amount you receive can’t exceed the amount you owe in tax. You can carry forward any excess unused credit, though, and apply it to reduce the tax you owe in future years. Don’t include any interest you’ve paid, including loan origination fees.
The credit has no annual or lifetime dollar limit, except for credit limits for fuel cell property. You can claim the annual credit every year that you install eligible property until the credit begins to phase out in 2033.
Credit Limits for Fuel Cell Property
There is a $500 limit on fuel cell property for each half-kilowatt of capacity. If more than one person lives in the home, the combined credit for all residents can’t exceed $1,667 for each half-kilowatt of fuel cell capacity.
State Incentives*
The state provides rebates to residents who install solar systems. The rebates are performance-based, rewarding systems that produce more energy efficiently. Some utilities in Minnesota offer additional rebates for solar installations. These rebates can further reduce the cost of going solar. Check with your local utility provider for specific programs and eligibility requirements.
*Ask your representative about which incentive you’re eligible to receive. Please consult a tax advisor on your ability to claim these nonrefundable tax credits.
Financing Options
Financing options for solar energy in Minnesota are diverse, allowing homeowners and businesses to choose the best fit for their financial situation. From financing to solar loans, green energy loans, home equity loans, and manufacturer financing, there are many ways to make solar energy affordable and accessible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do solar panels work well during Minnesota winters?
Yes. Solar panels continue producing power even on cold, sunny days, and snow generally slides off as panels warm in the sun. Wolf River Electric designs every system for Minnesota’s climate, ensuring optimal performance year-round.
Can solar panels increase my home’s resale value?
Yes. Homes with solar systems often sell faster and at higher prices because buyers value lower energy costs and sustainability. Minnesota’s property tax exemption also means you can enjoy that added value without an increased tax burden.
Does Wolf River Electric handle the permits and paperwork?
Absolutely. Our team manages every detail, including permits, utility applications, and incentive paperwork, so you can focus on enjoying the benefits of solar without the hassle.
