The IRS’ elective pay portal for schools to claim clean energy tax credits is open.

Schools that put ground-source heat pumps, electric school buses, electric vehicle charging equipment, and/or solar and battery storage into service within an eligible fiscal year can now pre-register to access millions of dollars in direct cash payments from the IRS.

Unlike competitive federal grant programs, there is no competitive application process. Funding is unlimited, uncapped, and available for the next decade for all qualifying projects.
