Are there any rebate programs or tax incentives to install solar or wind energy systems in my home?
Although the state does not have a program at this time that provides funding of renewable energy equipment on an individual basis, there are tax exemptions available in certain instances. Texas residents can also check with their local utility providers, as some have energy efficiency programs that offer low cost loans/rebates and advice on renewable energy technologies. For information on financial incentives for renewable energy in Texas, please see the following State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) web site: Texas Tax Codes for Solar and Wind-Powered Energy Systems Property tax exemptions, franchise tax exemptions, and franchise tax deductions.
