As you may already know, the out-of-pocket cost of a solar energy system is largely a function of government incentives. Unlike some other states, South Dakota doesn't offer much in the way of solar energy incentives, like tax credits or rebates. That said, residents and businesses can still receive a 30-percent renewable energy tax credit from the federal government when they install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or a solar thermal (solar hot water) system. And for commercial systems installed in 2009 and 2010, businesses may receive a renewable energy grant equal to (and instead of) the 30-percent tax credit. The renewable energy grant option has been made possible by the federal stimulus package that was passed in February 2009.
