Deduct Losses Against Your W-2 — Here's How

Most tax-advantaged investments generate passive losses you can't use. Solar asset ownership lets you convert those losses into active deductions against your W-2 income — if you materially participate for just 100 hours a year.

Passive vs. Active: Why It Matters

The IRS treats rental and investment activity as passive by default — meaning losses can only offset passive income. But if you materially participate, those losses become active and deductible against wages, bonuses, and other ordinary income.

The 100-Hour Test

Under Reg. 1.469-5T, you materially participate if you spend at least 100 hours on the activity and no one else spends more time on it than you do. Because you own the panels or batteries outright — not through a fund — reaching 100 hours is straightforward.

Our Platform Helps You Track and Document It

Our compliance platform lets you log activities in seconds, generates audit-ready reports, and tracks your progress toward the 100-hour threshold each year. The hours are yours — we make them provable.

What Counts Toward 100 Hours

  • Reviewing and approving maintenance schedules
  • Making operational and financial decisions
  • Corresponding with installers and site managers
  • Reviewing contractor performance reports
  • Monitoring production and payment data
  • Managing your contractor relationships
  • Reviewing and signing operational documents
