South Carolina has a great statewide solar tax credit.

It is 25% of the cost of a system but it is limited to a maximum claim for $3,500 per year.

However, you can claim the remaining portion of the tax credit above $3,500 per year in future tax years and so it is fair to say it is a true 25% solar tax credit.
