Clean Energy Tax Incentives refer to financial benefits provided by the government to encourage the development and use of renewable energy sources. These incentives can take various forms, including tax credits, deductions, and exemptions for individuals and businesses that invest in clean energy technologies, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and energy efficiency improvements.

For example, the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows taxpayers to deduct a significant percentage of the cost of installing solar energy systems from their federal taxes. Similarly, various states offer additional incentives, such as property tax exemptions or sales tax rebates, to further promote clean energy initiatives. The goal of these incentives is to reduce the overall cost of clean energy projects, stimulate investment in the sector, and promote environmental sustainability.
