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.

                                                                  Declaration
I declare that to the best of my knowledge of all available information, this refund claim is true and complete and complies with all 
statutes, rules and regulations, and any other policy pronouncements related to the solar energy income tax credit.
Signature of Taxpayer, Entity Officer or Other (for other, attach power of attorney, Form R-7006) Date (mm/dd/yyyy)

Please complete a separate worksheet and supplemental information sheet for each solar energy system for which you are 
requesting credit. Attach each worksheet to page 1.

This page must be signed by the owner of the property on which the solar system is installed.
I, the undersigned residential property owner, am the lessee of a solar energy system and may be entitled to claim the Louisiana solar 
energy income tax credit pursuant to R.S. 47:6030.
I understand and acknowledge my right to consult a tax professional prior to claiming any Louisiana state tax credit for which I may be 
eligible. 
I understand and acknowledge that LAC 61:I.1907(F)(2) and (3) provide costs ineligible for inclusion under the tax credit. I understand that 
R.S. 47:6030(C)(1) explains that my “cost of purchase” or overall “costs” of a solar energy system cannot include any lease management 
fee or any inducement to lease a solar energy system. 
I understand that an inducement is an incentive for me to lease a solar energy system. An inducement may be offered to me as a rebate, 
prize, gift certificate, trip, additional energy item or service, or any other thing of value given to me by the seller, installer, or equipment 
manufacturer as an incentive for me to lease a system. 
Whenever marketing rebates or incentives are offered to me in return for a reduction in the lease price of the system or as an inducement to 
lease, the eligible cost under LAC 61:I.1907(F)(1) will be accordingly reduced by the fair market value of the marketing rebate or incentive 
that I receive.
