The American Recovery and Re-investment Act of 2009 allows consumers and small businesses to take a 30% tax credit off the installed cost of a wind turbine.
This doubles the credit to a consumer or business purchasing a single 2.4KW residential wind turbine! This bill makes small wind more affordable and accessible. Depending on the installation cost, the tax credit could be worth up to $5,400.
Any Skystream installed in 2009 through 2016 is eligible for a credit up to 30% of the installed cost of the wind turbine. This credit can be applied against taxes owed.
This savings also applies to multiple units – there is no cap on the 30% tax credit.
Couple the federal tax credit with local and/or state incentives, and you could save even more!
Additionally, consumers and businesses will also have the option of receiving their credit in the form of a cash grant. The federal government expects to release information about the grant program by April.
Depending on the wind resource, Skystream 3.7 generates between 30-80% of the power required by a typical home.
