California's Solar Energy Tax Credit: an analysis of tax returns for 1977
Book
·
OSTI ID:5877151
In 1977, the California Legislature established a 55% state income tax credit to encourage the use of solar energy systems in homes and businesses. Since enactment of the California Solar Tax Credit, over 40,000 taxpayer households have installed a solar energy system for water heating (pool and domestic), space conditioning (active and passive) or combined solar energy systems. Using statistical tabulations provided by the Franchise Tax Board, the California Energy Commission has analyzed the results of the first year of the credit. These results are presented in terms of the number, type, total cost and geographical distribution of the credits. In addition, a breakdown by type of solar energy system installed and the distribution of credits across income groups are also tabulated. These tabulations provide an excellent mechanism for accurately tracking solar energy use in California and allows government and industry to accurately monitor trends and shifts in market acceptance of the various solar energy technologies.
