Your application paperwork

Form to file: IRS Form 5695

This is a federal tax credit, not a grant you apply for. You claim 30 percent of the cost of a qualifying solar or clean energy system on your federal tax return using Form 5695.

Steps to apply

  1. Have your solar or clean energy system installed and pay for it.
  2. Keep the itemized invoice and proof of payment.
  3. Complete IRS Form 5695 and file it with your Form 1040 for the year the system was placed in service.
  4. If the credit is larger than your tax bill, carry the unused amount forward to next year.

Documents you will likely need

  • Itemized invoice from your installer showing the system cost.
  • Proof of payment.
  • Manufacturer certification statement for the equipment.
  • Your federal tax return (Form 1040) for the year of installation.

Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules on the official program page. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.

Deadline: Claim on annual state tax return
