Tell Your State Legislators to Support House File 221

The future of Iowa's solar industry is on the line at the Iowa Legislature and we need your voice to make sure it's a bright one. A bill introduced by Rep. Jarad Klein, House File (HF) 221, which would help farmers, small businesses, and homeowners across rural Iowa generate a long-lasting return on investment when they purchase solar energy, is stuck in the House Ways & Means Committee.

If you enter your information below, we'll help you draft an email to your state legislators in support of this investment in Iowa's solar industry.

As a recap, HF 221 would:

Double the state-imposed cap on the Iowa Solar Tax Credit from $5 million to $10 million beginning in 2021 to promote the long-term growth of our state's solar industry.
Allocate an additional $7 million in 2021 to pay down the years-long backlog of farmers, small businesses, and homeowners who have already purchased solar energy systems and have been waiting to receive their credit.
Bolster Iowa's clean energy leadership by decoupling the Iowa Solar Tax Credit from the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and set the state credit at 15% of total project costs. Currently, the credit is written to be 50% of the federal ITC, leaving Iowa's clean energy future at the mercy of an unpredictable federal government.
Set a Dec. 30, 2030 expiration date for the Iowa Solar Tax Credit.
