The 30% federal solar tax credit is gone. Here's what actually replaced it. You're going to keep seeing ads promising you 30% off. Read the fine print. The federal residential credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. If you buy a system with cash or a loan in 2026, there is no federal credit for you.
What still exists: the commercial credit that funds leases and PPAs, SGIP battery rebates, and California's property tax exclusion. We'll walk you through all three without the countdown timer.
We've been doing this since 1988. We're not going to sell you a deadline that doesn't exist.
