Save 30% on Your Home Solar System with the Federal Tax Credit

If you’ve been thinking about going solar at home, there’s never been a better time. Right now, homeowners can save 30% on the total cost of a solar energy system through the federal Solar Tax Credit — a major incentive that makes solar more affordable than ever.

What Is the Solar Tax Credit?

The Solar Tax Credit is a federal incentive that gives homeowners back 30% of what they spend on a solar system through a dollar-for-dollar reduction on their federal taxes. That includes not just the panels, but also installation, permits, and related equipment.

For example, if your solar project costs $20,000, you could get $6,000 back when you file your taxes.

How Long Will It Be Available?

The 30% federal tax credit is secured through 2032, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. After that, it begins to step down:

26% in 2033
22% in 2034
Set to expire for homeowners in 2035, unless extended by Congress

However, it’s important to note that some additional incentives and bonus benefits tied to the Inflation Reduction Act may expire as soon as December 31, 2025. These may include local rebates, utility programs, or limited-time add-ons that can increase your total savings.

Waiting could mean missing out on thousands in potential benefits, even if the 30% credit remains.

Now is the ideal time to explore your options and lock in the highest possible return on your solar investment.

Do You Qualify?

Most homeowners do. You’re likely eligible if:

You own your home
You own the solar system (purchased outright or with financing)
The system is installed and activated during the tax year you’re filing for

You can claim the credit whether the system is installed on your primary home or a second residence, as long as it’s in the U.S.

Why Going Solar Now Makes Sense

Lower energy bills starting from day one
Increased home value
Protection from rising utility rates
30% of your cost back through the tax credit

And when you pair that with local incentives, net metering, and long-term energy savings, going solar becomes one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.
