Solar Panel Use for Tax Advantages/Cash Flow on Rentals
Hey BP members, I was doing some research on tax advantages to switching solar in South Carolina for rental properties. From what I can see there is both a state tax credit (25% of the total system cost up to $35,000) and federal tax credit (30% with no cap), but am curious what other investors experience has been with having these installed on rental properties. It seems like it could be a viable strategy on to increase cashflow by having renters pay you vs. your local energy provider (i.e. you charge a flat rate per month to renters that covers your financing cost on the panels + a set amount for you to pocket).
Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts/experiences! Happy Thanksgiving!
