- Abstract
In this paper we examine the impacts of some of this legislation on the development of residential solar energy. The Energy Tax Act of 1978 contained tax credit provisions for homeowners or purchasers who install or build in solar energy. The Act provided for a tax credit of 30% of the first $2,000 in expenditure and 20% of additional expenditure up to $8.000. The maximum credit is $2,200 on a $10,000 or higher solar investment. Some states also enacted state tax credits, but many states chose to exempt the value of solar energy systems from the state property tax.
