After-tax planning assumptionsFirst tax year 2027 · state depreciation excluded · no replacement tax benefits
Returns include income taxes on operating savings and the federal deduction for state taxes. C-corporation ownership and immediate use of tax benefits are conditional planning assumptions. Financing and terminal/disposal values are excluded.
Replacement expenditure uses the cost and year entered above. Credit qualification still requires cost allocation, construction/service dates, and supplier compliance evidence. No county incentive or insurance discount is automatically confirmed.
Property taxNot modelled — rate 0
Leave the rate at 0 unless the system will be assessed. In California the active solar exclusion from new-construction assessment ends for systems completed from January 1, 2027; confirm the treatment with the county assessor.
