Good opportunity to start solar energy business. I read info about solar tax credit because have plan to invest money into solar farm in Texas. Despite its tremendous success, the ITC value dropped to 26% in 2020. The stimulus package approved by the U.S. Congress in December 2020 prevented it from falling further, but only until 2023. By 2024, owners of commercial solar energy systems will be able to deduct just 10% of the cost of the system from their taxes, while for residential systems the story will be over.
