Is $50,000 to install solar panels a fair price?
Project Details
I'm very interested in getting solar panels but I'm confused about how the federal tax credit works, especially since I normally receive a tax refund. I'm unsure if the credit can be applied if I don't owe taxes. The company representative suggested applying the credit to the loan, reducing the amount from $50,000 to $35,000. I also feel pressured by the salesman to make a decision quickly to ensure the credit is secured by the end of the year.
