When you choose to install solar-powered skylights or solar shades from RiverTree Skylights, you're not just enhancing your space with natural light and fresh air; you're also qualifying for a 30% federal solar tax credit. This significant savings is calculated based on the total cost of your project, including both the products and installation.
