In 2007, the state legislature passed Senate Bill 243, which gives some tax credits for installing solar electricity systems. Individuals and businesses are allowed a tax credit amounting to 25% of the cost of their system, but this is capped at $3,500 (or 50% of the individual’s or business’s tax liability). 2007 also brought the South Carolina Renewable Energy Grant Program, designed to fund demonstration projects for solar electricity among other things.
