Household tax credit for the labour of installing solar panels (kotitalousvähennys)
You can deduct 35% of the labour cost (including VAT) of installing solar panels at your home or holiday home from your tax, up to €1,600 per person a year after a €150 threshold. Only the labour part counts, so the installer's invoice must show it separately. The estimate assumes labour is a fifth of the price: 5% of the system cost, up to €1,450.
