Check out this article from MPR News, where TruNorth Solar’s Owner and CEO, Marty Morud, is quoted and notes that while federal tax credits have helped generate interest, the rising cost of electricity is now the biggest incentive for solar adoption.
To summarize, the article discusses Federal tax credits for clean energy, including solar panel installations, ending on December 31st, and how most solar installers are fully booked through the end of the year, making it difficult for new projects to qualify for the credit. But, it says, despite the end of these incentives, interest in solar remains high due to rising electricity costs, with homeowners being motivated by predictable bills, energy independence, or reducing their carbon footprint. While the loss of tax credits may impact families, it’s predicted that the increasing cost of electricity will continue to drive solar adoption.
