Energy independence is a major American policy goal, and the Internal Revenue Code has not been neglected in that push. There are tax credits for manufacturing “greentech” equipment and for purchases of energy-efficient appliances. Tax credits are available for business and homeowner purchases of properties that generate renewable energy, and can be claimed for each kilowatt-hour of electricity from renewable energy sources.
