CONCLUSIONS:
Solar/Gas water heating, Solar/Gas pool heating and Solar/Gas space heating are practical applications of solar energy. But, while the sun's heat is free, transferring it into useful energy is not, because mechanical devices are needed to transform that heat into energy.
m
Fortunately, to encourage greater utilization of solar energy, the Federal government and the State of California have established tax incentives for both commercial and residential solar energy systems.

While your solar contractor can give you more information about these important incentives, we suggest you also contract your tax consultant, your local Internal Revenue Service and State Franchise Tax Board offices.
