The Federal electric plug in vehicle tax credit for low speed (LSV) golf carts has been renewed for purchases made in 2010, but at a much lower level than we enjoyed in 2009. The Federal electric plug in vehicle tax credit is equal to 10% of the cost of the low speed vehicle. Here is the link to read the full ruling.

The Federal solar tax credit continues at the same level for 2010 which is 30% of the purchase price of the solar system. Frugal Dougal's Golf Cart Accessories continues to offer the solar golf cart and, on our solar roof panel page, the solar roof tops to convert your golf cart to solar power.
This solar electric hybrid plug in vehicle is either a two passenger cart with a sweater basket and bag rack or a four passenger cart with a front seat and rear fold down seat. It is fully loaded with all accessories and comes with a 216 watt solar roof panel.
With the solar power, no plug in charge will be needed if the golf cart use is 8 miles per day or less!

The solar panel and the batteries are all part of a solar system on the vehicle. (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3468.pdf) Also some states will allow additional tax credits and sales tax exemptions such as California, Oklahoma, Arizona and Florida.

Go completely solar with this golf cart! The cart is based on a 2006 factory refurbished Club Car Precedent with all new batteries and a powerful solar panel system. We can equip it with all the accessories you need to make the low speed vehicle street legal.
The solar golf cart uses the SG 120 watt system or can be upgraded to the powerful SG187 watt system. Combined with a smart Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller, the solar golf cart drives 6 to 12 more miles a day than the normal electricity powered golf cart (or more in sunny areas of the southern United States). As a rule of thumb, for every hour the solar golf cart sits out in peak sun, it will go an extra mile. Using the upgraded 187 watt panel, for every 45 minutes you are out in the sun, the cart will go an additional mile. Therefore, using solar power, you may never have the plug the cart in! Further, using solar power rather than fossil fuel power on the golf cart reduces the CO2 released into the air by 452 pounds per year. The ongoing carbon foot print for the cart is greatly reduced or eliminated because you are no longer draining from the electrical grid.
Solar power keeps the batteries in a state of constant charge rather than discharge when the cart is outside. This prevents the sulfates from building up and extends the life of the battery bank by a minimum of 25%.
The Club Car Precedent is one of the most popular golf carts available, used on 1000's of golf courses. It is a relatively maintenance free golf cart. Both the golf cart and the solar panels are made in the USA. You can rely on the quality of this solar golf cart!
The golf cart comes with the solar top, fold down windshield, head lights and tail lights, sweater basket and golf bag rack. An upgraded accessory package is available adding a horn, turn signals, brake lights, retractable seat belts, and side mirrors. Also, we offer an upgraded windshield to meet Department of Transportation standards and motorized windshield wipers.
A customized Sunbrella fabric enclosure can be added to protect you in inclement weather. The solar golf cart can be converted to a four passenger vehicle by adding a fold down rear seat kit and an extended 80" top. Also, a Curtis hard side enclosure is available for the 2 passenger; please call Customer Service if your are interested at 727-937-2974.
As of January 1, 2006, an investment tax credit for utilizing solar went into effect. IRS form 3468 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3468.pdf) allows a 30% tax credit for investing in solar. You may deduct 30% of the retail value of the solar panel and the battery (retail $2,195) and receive a tax credit of $659. For the SG 187, the retail value of the panel and batteries is $2,995 resulting in a tax credit of $899. This credit was extended on October 3, 2008 for 8 more years. Further, some states give incentives for buying solar. In Florida, for example, the solar portion of the vehicle is exempt from state sales tax.
