Texas Solar Incentives & Federal Tax Credits

Going solar in Maverick County is more affordable than ever. The 30% Federal ITC plus Texas exemptions can cut your system cost by thousands — here's how to claim every dollar.

Solar Incentives Available to Maverick County Residents

Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

30% of system cost

The federal ITC lets you deduct 30% of your total solar system cost — equipment and installation — from your federal income taxes. A $30,000 system saves you $9,000. Available through 2032 with a step-down after.

Texas Property Tax Exemption

100% exemption

Texas exempts the added value of a solar energy system from your property taxes. Your home's value goes up, but your property tax bill doesn't — a rare win for Texas homeowners.

Net Metering with AEP Texas

Bill credits

When your panels produce more than you use, the excess flows back to the AEP Texas grid and you earn credits on your bill. Those credits offset the power you pull at night, smoothing your savings year-round.

ERCOT Grid & Maverick County Benefits

Resilience + savings

South Texas sits in the ERCOT grid, where peak summer demand drives the highest rates. Solar shifts your usage off those expensive peaks, and paired with battery storage it keeps your home powered through grid events.

How the Federal ITC Works

  1. 1

    Install a qualifying solar energy system on your Maverick County home (we handle all of it).

  2. 2

    At tax time, claim the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Form 5695) for 30% of total system cost.

  3. 3

    The credit directly reduces your federal tax liability, dollar for dollar — it's a credit, not a deduction.

  4. 4

    Carry forward any unused credit to future tax years if your liability is lower than the credit.
