Oregon Expands Solar Energy Tax Credits

Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski signed a bill in September 2005 that expands tax credits for solar energy systems. The bill, which takes effect November 4 and expires in 2016, allows for tax credits of $3.00 per watt of installed solar electric output capacity. The credit is capped at half the cost of the installed system, up to $6,000. Additionally, the Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc., offers up to $10,000 for homeowners and $35,000 for businesses investing in photovoltaic systems. The Oregon State Legislature is online at www.leg.state.or.us (search for Senate Bill 31). The Energy Trust is at www.energytrust.org.
