Energy Tax credits for green lighting and LED lights
Green Energy Tax Credit
There is a reason why the majority of the globe will soon be switching to LED lights for their homes and businesses. LED lighting is extremely efficient and uses only a fraction of energy that conventional lighting uses. For this reason, the US government is giving incentives and energy tax credits for business or residences that are using green lighting solutions.
