ITC
TAX INCENTIVES LOWER UPFRONT COSTS

BIPV Project Eligibility

In the United States, buildings integrating NEXT OPV facades qualify for a minimum 40% investment tax credit (ITC), lowering upfront costs.

 

From the Department of Energy

 

 “ Structures holding the solar PV system may be eligible for a solar ITC if the solar PV system is designed with the primary goal of electricity generation and other uses of the structure are merely incidental.

 

Though structural components typically do not qualify for the ITC, the IRS noted an exception for components “so specifically engineered that it is in essence part of the machinery or equipment with which it functions. 

 

Therefore, building-integrated PV, like solar windows, shingles, or facades, which provide a dual function are eligible for the ITC.
