Finally, stimulus for the real tax-payers, the American Homeowner!

Did you miss out on the free $4 grand for Cash-for Clunkers?
Did you miss out on the free $8 grand for 1st-time home-buyers?
Finally, stimulus for the real tax-payers, the American Homeowner!

Our Federal Government is allowing a Tax Credit for the purchase of solar powered systems at their home, here are the details I have right now:

The customer will need a manufacturer’s certification for credit to submit with their taxes.
“US Federal Government is offering financial incentives to homeowners for the use of solar powered systems at their home. Homeowners are able to apply for a Federal Tax credit equal to 30 percent off the installed cost of their solar powered gate operator system.”

What’s covered:

The solar system tax credit applies to the total installed cost of the solar gate opener system. This includes the related solar panel, opener, access control device, remote controls, obstruction detection device’s, etc.

Typical Ultra Revolution™ Concealed Gate Openers Pricing : $2195 for a double drive gate kit which includes control box, transformer, 12 volt DC battery, low-voltage wire, two key-chain remotes, power slide bolt, solar panel with mounting bracket, wireless keypad.

By the time you add labor and profit it should easily equate to around a $1000 or more in savings to your customers, which in turn should make the gate operator combination anywhere from 1/3 to 1/5 less expensive....

What’s not covered:
The cost of the gate itself, or work required to place the physical gate into proper working order (leveling the gate, replacing hinges, etc)

Effective for tax years beginning after December 2008.
Customer needs The Federal Tax Credit form 5695, Residential Energy Efficiency Property Credit.
The offer is only available in the US. The dwelling must be located in the United States and be used as a residence by the taxpayer.

*See your Ultra Dealer for more details and consult your tax professional to see if you qualify for this tax credit.
