LA R.S. 47:6030 provides for a credit against income tax for the purchase and installation of a solar electric system (“system”). The credit
may be claimed by a third-party owner through a lease with the owner of a single-family detached residence located in this state. However,
only one tax credit with respect to each residence is allowed and no other tax credit will be allowed for any other system installed at that
residence. See Revenue Information Bulletins 13-026 and 15-026 and Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) 61:I.1907 for additional
information regarding additional requirements and restrictions.
System components purchased on or after July 1, 2013, must be compliant with the “Buy American” requirements of the federal American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. See Revenue Information Bulletin 13-013 for more information.
The tax credit for a leased system installed in 2017 is equal to 38 percent of the first $20,000 of eligible costs. For the purpose of
determining the cost basis of the credit for a leased system, the eligible cost is $2.00 per watt limited to six kilowatts.
If the taxpayer received this credit through an interest in a partnership, trust, or small business corporation, please retain copies of the
Schedule K-1 or other documents that support your share of the distributed credit amount entered on Line 2 above.
This credit may be used in addition to any federal credits earned for the same system, but the taxpayer is prohibited from using any other
state tax benefit for property for which the credit is claimed.
