With the US federal grant program coming to an end on the 31st, solar energy equipment investors also rush to grab the last bus before the deadline, which also makes some solar equipment inventory situation.

In recent years, the United States to subsidize the public in their own premises or open space to install solar energy equipment incentives continue to bury, which the federal government to provide 30% tax relief the most attractive. As long as the installation plan is completed, the investor will be able to get a refund check within 60 days. For example, if the people spent 2.2 million US dollars to install solar energy equipment, you can get $ 660,000 subsidy.

According to the US Partnership for Renwable Enery Finance in September, the US solar energy investment in the United States increased from $ 3.4 billion in 2008 to about $ 6.7 billion in 2010, stimulated by the US Treasury's subsidy program The

In addition, an industry group Solar Energy Industries Association survey also showed that thanks to the program, as of October 26 the United States has installed 1,118 solar energy equipment. Only to see the subsidy program period soon, if Congress does not extend the duration of the plan, the industry groups worried about the amount of US solar energy investment will be substantially shrunk.

The federal government subsidy program to stimulate private investment in natural heating is certainly not small, but commercial solar equipment manufacturers have also seen changes. In the case of Jamie Hahn, chief operating officer of Solis Partners, a solar equipment plant in the United States, he said that before the introduction of the subsidy program, about 70 percent of the purchase of solar energy equipment and installed in the commercial building was the third party investor, The equipment output power sold to the building of the enterprise to obtain profits. But in the subsidy program subsidy, the building has a huge increase in the purchase of solar energy equipment business, commercial solar energy equipment market and therefore change.

In addition to being able to get free electricity from solar energy equipment, Hahn said that in fact people who have solar energy equipment will be able to get the most benefit, because in addition to the federal government's incentive program, the state government also has its own subsidy program, so the installation of solar energy equipment For the building of the enterprise to save a lot of electricity, and even bring its income.

In addition to 30% of the tax relief, in fact, the US central and local governments also have depreciation for solar energy equipment to provide tax rebates. For example, New York City, for the installation of more than 4 years of solar energy equipment, the owners of the property in the property tax can be deducted part of the amount of solar energy equipment 8.75%.

In the solar energy equipment for the building owners each year to save 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars in electricity, there are many central and local government subsidies, in fact, the installation of solar energy equipment owners in the first four years or so will be able to recover the amount of investment The

Because of the many benefits, the US building owners have rushing to install solar energy equipment before the end of the federal subsidy program. Such as solar panels, solar converters (PV invert) and other important equipment delivery time are stretched to 8 to 12 weeks or so. However, although the delivery time is already more than the end of the period, Hahn said investors still have the opportunity to apply for subsidies, as long as the end of the year signed and submitted to pay the equipment installation plan required amount of 5% proof.
