Federal and State Solar Incentives You Should Know About

Federal and State Incentives You Should Know About

Going solar isn’t just about saving on electricity—it’s also about tapping into incredible financial incentives that make it more affordable than ever.

Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)

• Currently, you can claim 30% of your solar system’s total cost (including equipment, labor, and permits) as a federal tax credit.

• Example: If your system costs $20,000, you’ll get a $6,000 credit when you file your taxes.

• No income limits, no cap. Must be installed on your primary or secondary home.

State and Local Incentives

CHNG Energy helps customers access state-specific incentives. Some examples include:

• Cash rebates from local utilities

• Performance-Based Incentives (PBIs), which reward you for how much electricity your system produces

• Sales and property tax exemptions in many states (so you’re not taxed for upgrading your home)

Bonus: Net Metering

Net metering lets you earn credits for extra electricity you send back to the grid. It’s like rollover data—but for your power bill.
