Feb. 4, 2025: Solar Energy and Affordable Housing: What You Need to Know

The 2025 application period for affordable housing properties to receive a 20% "adder" to the 30% investment tax credit (ITC) for solar power opened in January. In this week's Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Dirk Wallace, CPA, discuss the use of solar-generated electricity at affordable housing properties, including how to evaluate whether solar works at your property, how President Donald Trump's executive orders affect the awarding of bonus credit percentage, how to apply for the "adder" and what properties are eligible. They also discuss the demand for the "adders" and how to demonstrate benefits to tenants.
