Solar Energy For Non-Profits
Non-profit organizations can benefit greatly from solar energy. As energy rates continue to rise, this growing overhead can be a burden. A solar energy installation allows for non-profits to hedge these rising costs by reducing energy costs now and for decades to come. Non-profits, despite being tax exempt, can now take advantage of the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). As of 2022,with the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, non-profits can benefit directly from the 30% ITC in the way of a refund by the installation contractor or the federal government. Non-profits can also source savings from grants, rebates, and different financial models to decrease the cost of going solar.
Funding For Non-Profit Solar
Depending on your location, and organization, there may be opportunities for grants, rebates and incentives for your tax-exempt non-profit. Some organizations have grants set aside for energy efficiency or energy independence. If you are unsure if money is available for solar energy you may want to start by reaching out to those within your organization first.
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
As of fall 2022, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, non-profit organizations are now eligible to benefit from solar energy installation tax credits. Currently set at 30% of the total installation cost of the contract, Non-profits will see the credit in the way of a federal refund when taxes are filed the following calendar year.
