Beginning with tax year 2019 and ending with tax year 2021, SC Code Section 12-6-3775 provides an Income Tax credit 
to a taxpayer for constructing, purchasing, or leasing solar energy property. The credit is equal to 25% of the cost, 
including installation, of the property. 
 
The credit is earned in the year the property is placed in service. It must be taken in five equal annual installments 
beginning with the year the property is placed in service. Any unused credit can be carried forward for five tax years.  
 
If the credit is earned before the December 31, 2021 repeal date, SC Code Section 12-6-3775 continues to apply until the 
credits are fully claimed. 
 
Property requirements: In order to qualify for the credit, the solar energy property must be located in South Carolina, 
placed in service in this state during the taxable year, and be located on: 
 1.  the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priority List, 
 2.  the EPA's National priority List Equivalent Sites,  
 3.  a list of related removal actions certified by the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), 
 4.  land that is subject to a Voluntary Cleanup Contract with DHEC as of December 31, 2017 or to corrective action 
 under the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or 
 5.  land that is owned by the Pinewood Site Custodial Trust.   
 
Leased property: A taxpayer leasing solar energy property must obtain a written statement from the lessor stating the 
lessor will not claim this credit for the same property.  
 
A taxpayer can also request the lessor provide them with a statement describing the property and stating the cost of the 
property.  
 
A credit is not allowed if:   
 1.  the property is disposed of, taken out of service, or moved out of South Carolina during one of the years an 
 installment can be claimed. The credit then expires and the taxpayer may not take any remaining installments of 
 the credit.  
 2.  the cost of the solar energy property is provided by public funds. Federal grants or tax credits are not considered  
 public funds. 
 3.  a taxpayer claims any other state credit for solar energy property on the same property.  
 
Credit limits: The credit for each installation of solar energy property placed in service may not exceed $2.5 million. The 
credit is allowed on a first-come, first-served basis. The total amount of credits available to be taken, based on the five 
equal annual installments claimed by all taxpayers in a taxable year, may not exceed $2.5 million in a tax year.  
 
Solar energy property: Any nonresidential solar energy equipment with a nameplate capacity of at least 1,900 kW AC 
that uses solar radiation as a substitute for traditional energy for water heating, active space heating and cooling, passive 
heating,  daylighting,  generating  electricity,  distillation,  desalination,  detoxification,  or  the  production  of  industrial  or 
commercial process heat. Also included are related devices necessary for collecting, storing, exchanging, conditioning, or 
converting solar energy to other useful forms of energy.
