The homeowner credit is gone for new systems
The federal residential solar tax credit is no longer available to homeowners for new qualifying systems. If someone quotes you a homeowner tax credit on a new system today, ask them to show you exactly where it comes from.
Solar can still make financial sense
Depending on the project and ownership structure, third-party-owned solar options such as a PPA or prepaid PPA may allow applicable business tax benefits to be captured by the system owner while giving homeowners access to a lower-cost energy solution. Those benefits belong to the system owner, not the homeowner, and not every project qualifies.
We show you the numbers first
Eligibility depends on the project, ownership structure, applicable law, and tax circumstances. Nothing in a solar proposal is tax advice. We'll model your options before you make a decision — and you should confirm your situation with a licensed tax professional.
Frequently asked
Can I still get the federal tax credit as a homeowner?
Not for new qualifying systems — the federal residential solar tax credit is no longer available to homeowners.
Does a PPA give me a tax benefit?
No. Under a PPA the system owner may be able to capture applicable business tax benefits, depending on the project and applicable law. The homeowner does not personally receive them.
