Louisiana Solar Energy Credit Cap

Earlier this year I recently installed solar panels on my residence with the assumption the state will give a 50% tax credit up to 12,500 max per system.

Yesterday, recieved my tax information from the solar company, with a lovely email attached. The state has decided to change now back out of what was in place for the curent year. Now there is a 10 million cap on credits for the tax years of 2015 and 2016, and 5 million for 2017.

The credits will be on a first come, first serve basis until cap is reached. The company suggested filing my taxes ASAP to recieve my refund.

Does anyone possibly have any prediction how long it will take for this 10 million cap to run out? Regardless I am planning on filing day 1 that I can. Just pretty nerve racking and shitty the state says one thing, then changes it in the middle of the year to screw people over.
