Tax credits and other government rebates are almost never effective for anything, because companies just increase their prices. One of the reasons solar power is more expensive in the USA compared to other countries is because of the 30% tax credit. The tax credit just brings the price down closer to what it should actually be.
In my area there's a $4k rebate on heat pump HVAC systems... As a result, quotes here are around $4k higher than quotes for addresses in the next county.
