Under the IRA
The Inflation Reduction Act deployed over $370 billion in clean energy incentives across seven major tax credit programs. Here is a complete guide to every federal credit, who qualifies, and how to stack them.

New Energy Efficient Home Credit
Contractors and developers building energy-efficient new single-family or multifamily homes can claim a credit per qualified unit. The IRA raised rates significantly from the pre-IRA $2,000 cap.
Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Deduction
A tax deduction for energy-efficient improvements to commercial buildings. The IRA expanded eligibility to include nonprofits and government entities that can now allocate the deduction to designers.
Investment Tax Credit
The flagship clean energy tax credit. The IRA extended the ITC through 2032 and added bonus adders for energy communities, domestic content, and low-income projects.
Production Tax Credit
A per-kilowatt-hour credit for electricity produced from clean energy sources. Projects must choose between ITC and PTC — IncentEdge models both scenarios to maximize your credit value.
Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit
A $10 billion IRA allocation for manufacturers of clean energy equipment. Applications are submitted through a competitive IRS/DOE review process in annual allocation rounds.
Carbon Capture & Sequestration Credit
The IRA doubled credit rates and significantly lowered capture thresholds, unlocking carbon capture economics for a much broader set of industrial and power generation projects.
Clean Hydrogen Production Credit
A 10-year production credit for clean hydrogen based on lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. Projects with the lowest emissions (under 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2) receive the full $3.00/kg.
Credit Stacking Rules
Most IRA credits can be layered together — but a few are mutually exclusive. IncentEdge models every combination automatically.
