About this program
Italy's Ecobonus provides tax deductions for energy efficiency improvements including solar panel installations. For 2025, the deduction is 50% of expenses for principal homes and 36% for other properties, with a maximum spending limit of EUR 96,000 per property unit and the solar-specific cap at EUR 60,000. The tax credit is spread over 10 years of annual tax returns. Rates will decrease in 2026-2027 to 36% for primary residences and 30% for second homes.
