The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for homeowners has been extended by Congress until 2024. Homeowners who purchase a solar powered gate operator manufactured by DoorKing, Inc. may qualify for a Federal Tax Credit off the installed cost of the system.

This tax credit is available for the installed cost of the solar powered gate operator on the homeowner’s Federal tax return.

For residential and commercial solar systems, the ITC tax credit will be 26% in 2022 and will step down to 22% in 2023.  After December 31, 2023, the residential credit will drop to zero (0) while commercial and utility credit will drop to a permanent 10%. 

The solar powered Gate Operator is considered a “Qualified Solar Electric Property” authorized by the Internal Revenue Code Section 25D under the definition provided in paragraph d.2 and as such qualifies for the Residential Energy Efficient Tax Credit. You will need to complete Federal Form 5695 and attach it to your personal tax return in order to claim this credit. If you have any questions regarding this Federal Tax Credit, Form 5695 or its instructions, please consult your tax adviser. You should also check with your state tax agency to see if your state offers any additional solar energy tax incentives.

What is Covered:

The solar system tax credit applies to the total installed cost of the solar gate operator system. This includes the related solar panel, gate operator, solar control box, access control device, remote controls, entrapment protection device(s), etc.
