Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit Remains at 30% Through 2032, Boosting Homeowner Savings

Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit Remains at 30% Through 2032, Boosting Homeowner Savings

The federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of their solar energy system from their federal taxes. This credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in tax liability, not merely a deduction from taxable income. For example, a $25,000 solar system qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit. The ITC is applicable to both owned systems, whether purchased with cash or financed through a loan. This significant incentive is set to maintain its 30% rate through 2032 before a scheduled step-down. The ITC has been a crucial driver of solar energy adoption across the U.S., substantially lowering the initial investment required for solar installations. Homeowners in states like Pennsylvania, for instance, can combine this federal credit with state-specific incentives such as Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) to further enhance their return on investment and accelerate payback periods for their solar systems. The credit covers the cost of panels, inverters, batteries, and installat...

Mount St. Joseph University Secures $4.67 Million Grant for Early Literacy Curriculum Development

Mount St. Joseph University's Center for Reading Science has been awarded a substantial $4.67 million grant from the Hollyhock Foundation. This funding will support the development and implementation of the Reading Opens Worlds (ROW) Integrated Literacy Curriculum, a comprehensive, open-source Pre-K through 2nd-grade curriculum. The initiative aims to address the fragmentation often found in current K-2 literacy programs by integrating phonological awareness, phonics, spelling, writing, oral language, and content knowledge into a single, cohesive model. The curriculum is being developed by MSJ experts with input from national literacy leaders and is currently being piloted in classrooms. A pilot program in a Cincinnati kindergarten classroom during the 2025–2026 school year, involving 91% multilingual learners and 100% free or reduced lunch qualified students, showed significant positive results, with all students scoring at or above benchmark on end-of-year Acadience Reading measures.
