* You may be eligible for the federal tax credit if you participate in the Bayfield Electric community solar program. Find more information on Page 10, Q26 of this recent IRS ruling.  Additional clarification can also be found in this IRS document. Review further with your accountant for eligibility. Note: The tax credit does not apply for Xcel's community solar program because they are a for-profit company and will take the tax credit (no double-dipping).
