Abstract Details

2020, Bachelor of Arts, Walsh University, Honors.
Solar technology has the potential to make a large impact on American society. Widespread adoption will reduce water usage and, air pollution and contribute to the efforts of national security. However, high investment costs have prevented solar panels from being widely adopted as a means of residential power production. This proposal seeks to mitigate the problem of initial installation costs and expand the accessibility of solar panels through the modification of federal tax incentive policy. Proposed production tax credits and federal loan partnerships will replace existing income tax credits. Although of lesser value, the different structure of the incentive offers greater benefit to the consumer in countering loan costs and providing more long-term benefits. Expanded access will encourage the widespread adoption of solar panels bringing benefits to both consumers and the nation.
