Iluminar is helping businesses, schools, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations take advantage of federal solar tax incentives before the December 31, 2027 deadline. The company’s Power Stack vertical solar poles qualify for valuable clean energy tax credits that can significantly reduce project costs while supporting resilient security infrastructure.
Federal Tax Credits Can Reach Up to 70%
Under the federal Clean Electricity Investment Credit (26 USC § 48E), Iluminar’s Power Stack vertical solar poles qualify as eligible clean energy assets and receive a standard 30% investment tax credit. Depending on project eligibility, additional federal incentives can be combined with the baseline credit, allowing organizations to capture returns of up to 70%.
These incentives transform security infrastructure investments into strategic capital projects while helping organizations improve energy resilience and sustainability.
Incentives Available for Businesses and Nonprofits
The federal tax benefits are available to a wide range of organizations. Nonprofit organizations can utilize the Direct Pay provision (26 USC § 6417), allowing them to receive the full eligible credit as a direct payment from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Taxable businesses can take advantage of the transferability provision (26 USC § 6418), enabling eligible tax credits to be sold to third-party taxpayers for cash. In many states, additional incentives may also be available, further increasing overall project savings.
Designed for Fast Deployment
Iluminar designed the Power Stack vertical solar poles to help organizations meet the 2027 placed-in-service deadline with minimal installation delays.
Most Power Stack poles can be installed in less than one hour and serviced from ground level, reducing construction complexity while eliminating the need for underground electrical infrastructure.
Supporting Critical Security Technologies
The Power Stack platform supports Iluminar illuminators as well as IP cameras, license plate recognition systems, wireless connectivity, access control systems, and other IoT devices. With up to five days of dedicated solar battery storage, each pole continues delivering power during localized grid failures and severe weather events, helping organizations maintain continuous security operations.
“The use of clean, reliable energy has historically been the smart choice for ensuring continuous security operations, but these federal incentives make it the smart financial choice too,” said Eddie Reynolds, president and CEO of Iluminar. “We want to make it as easy as possible for organizations to take advantage of these credits while they can.”
Solar tax incentives remain subject to applicable federal and state laws, IRS guidance, and project documentation. Organizations should consult their tax advisor before relying on any estimated tax credit value.
Iluminar manufactures infrared and white-light illuminators and off-grid, self-contained vertical solar poles for security applications.
