Solar Incentives & Tax Credit Guides

The federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) and state-level incentives can reduce the net cost of a solar system by 30-50% — but the rules have specific requirements and limitations that affect eligibility. Solarinstallguide's incentive guides explain the current federal ITC percentage, how to claim it correctly, which state programs offer meaningful additional incentives, net metering policies by state, and the SRECs and utility programs that create ongoing income from excess production. We update these guides as incentive programs change.
