What is the Federal Tax Credit?

The federal tax credit for solar-powered products is a financial incentive provided by the U.S. government to encourage the use of renewable energy. For Solar Star® Attic Fans, this credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the total cost of purchase and installation from their federal taxes. This means you save money upfront while making an environmentally friendly choice.

Solar Star® Attic Fans are designed to optimize your home’s ventilation by preventing heat buildup and moisture accumulation in your attic. Powered by solar energy, these fans are:

  • Energy-efficient: They operate without increasing your electricity bill.
  • Environmentally friendly: By reducing your reliance on traditional energy sources, you help reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Cost-effective: The 30% tax credit further lowers the already affordable cost of these fans.
To claim the tax credit for your Solar Star® Attic Fan, ensure you meet these criteria:
  • Solar-Powered Product: The fan must be solar-powered, as only solar energy devices qualify for this specific tax credit.
