Solar tax credit extension faces uphill fight in Congress
The Solar Energy Industries Association pushes to extend the investment tax credit ITC beyond 2016 as solar leads growth with Bloomberg NEF predicting 9 GW of new capacity in 2015 powering 6 million homes. Obama cites solar job gains, while SEIA seeks stable policy amid a Republican Congress and market pressures on fossil fuels and nuclear. The ITC currently supports 30 percent deductibility and would drop to 10 percent for commercial projects and vanish for residential if not renewed.
