Sat, 13 Jun 2020 04:22:57 +0000https://news.mst.edu/?p=32965#comment-227850Thanks for the interesting article! I’d be very curious to see what results from this study. Would it be possible to obtain a copy of the final report once published? I’m very interested in their findings as I often engage with others in my network about solar power adoption and find most of the time there is resistance to adoption due to a lack of understanding in how solar energy can benefit individuals or organizations financially. Many times those I’ve spoken with are inclined to help with becoming more sustainable, but they have not read nor been informed sufficiently of the details to how this can also impact their bottom line. Helping others see the short and long term financial benefits unfortunately seems to drive home the adoption of solar; although not always. For example, many people don’t even know that a federal tax credit exists to help offset the cost of solar installations. Currently, its 26% until the end of 2020 and it decreases to 22% in 2021. After that, the credit for individuals phases out and a 10% credit remains indefinitely for businesses. This is just one of the financial benefits of installing solar, not to mention the various other incentives which exist and vary for each state.
