The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for solar installations that allows taxpayers to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes. Including the ITC disclosure in your proposal helps to ensure that all necessary information is provided upfront, minimizing the risk of errors or omissions that could result in the customer being ineligible for the credit or facing penalties from the IRS.
Tax credits are an estimated amount. As the purchaser and owner of a solar photovoltaic system, you may qualify for certain federal, state, local or other rebates, tax credits or incentives (collectively, “Incentives”). If you have any questions as to whether and when you qualify for any Incentives and the amount of such Incentives, please consult and discuss with your personal tax or financial advisor. Sunlight and [Your Company Name] make no representation, warranty, or guaranty as to the availability or amount of such Incentives.

Nothing in this document shall be construed to mean that any of these requirements are specifically required under applicable law, regulation, or rule. This document does not constitute legal advice in any respect – whether to installers or otherwise – and installers should seek their own legal counsel to understand their obligations under applicable consumer protection laws.
