On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Re-investment Act of 2009 into law. With a significant emphasis on renewable energy technology deployment and job expansion, the bill improved upon the 2008 tax credit, by removing “cost caps.” This change allows consumers and small businesses to take a 30% tax credit off the installed cost of a wind turbine. To a consumer or business purchasing a single residential wind turbine, it will double their credit. Additionally, businesses will also have the option of receiving their credit in the form of a cash grant. Learn more about “Renewable Energy Budgeting“.
Texas Tiny Homes is currently talking with several Wind Turbine Companies about becoming a distributor for their products. We will have more on pricing and installation on turbines as as well as solar panels at a later date.
