Las Vegas, June 6-8, 2019 VELUX is making it easier for homeowners to qualify for the full federal tax credit on solar property with its
Go Solar program.
“Even homeowners with fixed or manual skylights have a way to qualify for the federal tax credit,” said Ross Vandermark, national product manager for VELUX America. “We encourage them to Go Solar by adding solar-powered blinds. This simple step not only makes their homes more energy-efficient but allows homeowners to save hundreds of dollars through the federal tax credit.”
The estimated cost to purchase and install a fixed skylight is $1,900. However, homeowners can Go Solar by adding a solar powered blind with a free VELUX ACTIVE Gateway to be eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit on product and installation. With a total estimated tax credit of $685, the homeowner saves $300.
The VELUX ACTIVE Gateway allows the homeowner to operate their new solar blinds with the VELUX ACTIVE smartphone app.
VEUX Go Solar products include:
Go Solar products build on the VELUX solar powered product line, which includes No Leak Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylights (curb and deck mounted models).
This year is the last year to claim the full 30 percent federal tax credit available for solar product purchase and installation. Qualifying VELUX products purchased and installed by December 31, 2019 are eligible for the full 30 percent credit. The credit decreases to 26 percent in 2020 and 22 percent in 2021.
