Although most of us cringe at the thought of tax season, Uncle Sam may look favorably upon you if you've made energy-saving improvements to your home within the past two years. New energy-efficient windows, added ceiling insulation, and a new high-efficiency air conditioner or water heater can all add up to a substantial tax refund of up to $500-more if you dabbled in solar power, fuel cells, or microturbines.

To find out if you're eligible for federal tax credits, visit Energy Star and The Tax Incentives Assistance Project.
