**Please note: The current tax credits for Residential Energy Efficiency (Equipment Tax Credits for Primary Residences) as well as the tax credit for builders of energy efficient homes expired on December 31, 2021. As of January 5, 2022, there is no approved extension of these tax credits. Any extension/renewal of these credits is still pending approved legislation by Congress. We will update our website with updates when there is an approved bill. The tax credits for Residential Renewable Energy Products are still effective, as written on this site, through December 31, 2023.
Tax credits for residential energy efficiency and those for builders of energy efficient homes were extended retroactively, through December 31, 2021.
