In the quest to support renewable energy developers and investors, the U.S. government offers a variety of investment tax credits (ITC) and production tax credits (PTC), collectively known as tax credits (TCs). These credits are designed to reduce tax liability, but their value can be limited in certain circumstances. If there is no taxable income, the credit remains unused, neither impacting cash flow nor providing value to the investor.

Energy scams are a growing problem in the United States, especially in deregulated markets like Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland. While seniors and non-English speakers are frequent targets, the reality is that anyone can fall victim to these schemes. Scammers are experts at manipulation, using fear and surprise to trick people into acting without thinking.
