General Tax Credit Process & Eligibility

How does the tax credit transfer process work?

Ever.green connects sellers with potential buyers through a matching process (i.e., bid/auction). Following this, due diligence is conducted, and a purchase agreement, along with other necessary documents, is signed. After the project is completed, the seller must obtain an IRS registration number. Once these steps are completed - such as validating the ITC amount and project completion - the transaction is finalized, funds are transferred and all required documents are filed with the IRS.

To better understand the buyer diligence process, review our Buyer Diligence Guide.

Who can sell or buy tax credits on the Ever.green marketplace?


Sellers: Renewable energy developers and project sponsors with eligible technologies like Utility-Scale, Commercial & Industrial (C&I), Community Solar, Wind, Storage, Biogas, Geothermal, Microgrids, and EV charging projects. Note for residential sellers, we support tax credits from landlords but not homeowners at this time.

Buyers: Corporate buyers, high-net-worth individuals, and partnerships seeking to reduce their tax liability. 

What types of tax credits are there, and what are they worth?


Investment Tax Credits (ITCs): Based on a percentage of the project’s value and earned when the project becomes operational.  Value can be equal to the project’s costs related to eligible technologies or “eligible costs,” plus reasonable developer’ fees, or it can be based on the value of a third-party sale backed by an independent appraisal. 

Production Tax Credits (PTCs): Earned over 10 years and earned each year based on the amount of energy generated by the project during that year. 

Credit values vary based on factors such as project size, location, compliance with the prevailing wage, and apprenticeship requirements. The Inflation Reduction Act also introduced bonus credits for using domestic materials, locating projects in energy communities, and serving low-income areas.

The Ever.green marketplace supports the following ITC & PTC credits:

  • Energy Storage (ITC): Provides a credit for standalone energy storage projects.
  • Clean Electricity Production Credit (CEPC): Tech-neutral production credit for facilities that generate clean energy, starting in 2025.
  • Clean Electricity Investment Credit (CEIC): Tech-neutral investment credit for clean energy projects, starting in 2025.
  • Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit (ITC): Bonus credit for renewable energy projects located in low-income communities or benefiting low-income individuals.
  • Energy Community Bonus Credit (ITC/PTC): Credit for installing alternative fuel vehicle refueling property, such as EV charging stations.
  • EV Charging Infrastructure Credit: Credit for installing alternative fuel vehicle refueling property, such as EV charging stations.
  • Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property: Credit for installing charging infrastructure for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles.

What types of projects and technologies generate tax credits for sale?

Eligible projects include solar, wind, energy storage, geothermal, biogas, microgrids, EV charging stations, and other renewable energy technologies. Depending on the technology, these projects generate either ITCs or PTCs, which can be sold once the projects are placed in service and the credits are earned.

How do I determine tax credit eligibility?

Eligibility depends on the type of renewable energy project, compliance with specific requirements (such as prevailing wage and apprenticeship), and project location.

Ever.green’s IRA Map helps developers assess their eligibility for bonus credits by entering a project’s location and evaluating factors like energy communities or low-income census tracts.
