  • Americans have been reaping the benefits of these tax credits for over a decade. Since they were enacted in 2006 and 2009, solar has seen 52% annual growth and wind energy has tripled.

  • From developers looking to invest in new projects to people hoping to install solar and heat pumps for their homes, these credits are a driving force behind the progress we've seen so far, and can continue helping more Americans participate in the transition to clean and renewable energy.

  • A report released earlier this year by Environment America Research & Policy Center, We Have the Power, found that we have nearly limitless renewable energy potential. To tap such a vast resource, financial incentives will be key to making the transition to clean, renewable energy.

  • By harnessing the energy of the sun and wind, we can ensure that future generations have clean air to breathe, a livable climate, and a safer and healthier future. We have more than enough to power our lives, so let's continue to make the transition smooth by supporting the tools to get us there.
