Tax Incentives

Whether you are retrofitting an existing building or working with an architect on new construction, government programs exist to encourage you to go green.   Federal, State, and Local energy incentives are in place to speed up the implementation of renewable energy technology in our communities. Below are three good websites that can help you evaluate your options:

Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency
http://www.dsireusa.org/

Interstate Renewable Energy Council
http://www.irecusa.org/

U.S. Department of Energy: Efficiency and Renewable Energy
http://www.eere.energy.gov/

HarneTech agrees that when it comes to a business or home budget, it is all about the numbers. However, Return On Investment (ROI) calculations for renewable energy may be much better than you initially thought once you bring tax incentives into the equation.  In addition, more programs encouraging investment are expected to become available based on rising energy costs, environmental problems, and global security issues.

HarneTech can help you weed through the various federal, state and local incentives that are available.  If you want help evaluating these programs, writing the grant proposals, etc., HarneTech consulting services are just a phone call away.   Contact us for more information.
