Solar Energy Systems
Tax credits are available for qualified solar water heating and photovoltaic systems. The credits are available for systems "placed in service" from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008. The tax credit is for 30% of the cost of the system, up to $2,000. This credit is not limited to the $500 home improvement cap.

Got the law

Thanks Gene V. for your response. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 extended the credit until 12-31-08.
