Federal Tax Credit (FTC)
The Federal Tax Credit (FTC), also known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), offers a significant incentive for installing a solar energy system. This credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the installation cost from their federal taxes. If your tax liability is insufficient to use the full credit in one year, the remaining amount rolls over to the next year’s tax return. Homeowners who finance their systems can claim the FTC on the entire loan amount, though those who lease their systems are ineligible for this benefit.
Solar Rebate Programs in Maryland (Local)
Beyond the FTC, Maryland provides several state-specific incentives to reduce the initial cost of Maryland solar panel installations and enhance long-term savings:
Residential Clean Energy Grant Program :
This program offers a $1,000 grant to homeowners who install a solar energy system at their primary residence. The system must not exceed 20 kW to be eligible.
Maryland Net Metering
Maryland’s net metering policy allows homeowners to balance their energy usage and production. When your system generates more electricity than you consume, the excess is sent to the grid, and you receive power credits. These credits can be used later, such as at night or on cloudy days when your system produces less electricity.
Maryland One-On -One BuyBack Policy
Maryland’s buyback policy credits homeowners for excess electricity sent to the grid at the same rate as their consumption. This policy ensures that for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of excess energy you produce, you receive a kWh credit, which can be used throughout the year.
Renewable Energy System Property Tax Exemption
Installing solar panels in Maryland increases your home’s value, but thanks to the Renewable Energy System Property Tax Exemption, you won’t face higher property taxes as a result. This exemption ensures that the added value from your solar energy system doesn’t lead to increased property tax assessments.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC)
For every 1,000 kWh your system generates, you earn one Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC). These certificates can be sold on SREC trading platforms, providing an additional revenue stream for homeowners. We help set up your trading account and integrate it with your bank account for seamless transactions. Also, you can receive the Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) amount upfront. You can choose to have this amount deducted from your total project cost, or if you prefer, you can receive the full Federal Tax Credit (FTC) on the total project cost and get the SRECs after installation.
Now, homeowners can receive their Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC) upfront from Cosmo Solaris. This means we will provide the full SREC amount as a production incentive. This upfront incentive not only simplifies your cash flow but also accelerates the returns on your solar investment.
Immediate Financial Benefit: Receive srecs upfront, allowing you to reinvest in your solar system or use the funds as you see fit.
Simplicity and Convenience: Skip the complexity of managing periodic payments and enjoy the simplicity of a single upfront transaction.
we understand that upfront payment may not be the ideal choice for everyone. Moreover, if the homeowner is not interested in getting upfront SRECs, but they will still receive SRECs as per the agreement.
