Eliminates the maximum available amount of the tax credit for solar electricity generating systems, unless the primary purpose of the solar energy system is to use energy from the sun to heat water for household use. Establishes a tax credit for solar electricity generating systems that are below the utility scale that declines by five percent annually, beginning at thirty-five percent prior to 2013 and stabilizing at twenty percent during or after 2015. Establishes a tax credit for utility scale solar electricity generating systems that is based on production, rather than construction, in the amount of 11.5 cents per kilowatt hour generated during the first one hundred twenty months of the operation of a utility scale solar electricity generating system installed after the 2012 tax year.
