The 30% solar tax credit for homeowners is gone. Here's what that means for you.
The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025. If you went solar in 2025, you can still claim it on your 2025 tax return. For new systems bought in 2026, including home batteries, the credit no longer applies.
We know that's a big change, and it's natural to wonder if solar is still worth it. The good news is that the credit was never the only reason to go solar, and homeowners still have real options.
What's still available:
Leases and PPAs still qualify for federal incentives through the system owner
Battery storage can help you use more of your own solar power
State and local incentives may be available in your area
Producing your own power can help protect you from rising utility rates
Every home is different, so we're happy to look at your situation and give you a straight answer.
