The Section 25D residential solar tax credit expired on December 31, 2025. Homeowners purchasing solar with cash or a loan no longer receive a federal credit. However, the Section 48E commercial ITC (30%) is still available for projects beginning construction before July 4, 2026. This benefits homeowners who choose a solar lease or PPA, because the financing company claims the credit and passes savings to you.

Everything you need to know before getting your free solar estimate.
Yes, 100% free with no obligation. NuWatt provides instant solar estimates at no cost. We analyze your roof using satellite imagery, calculate your potential savings based on your utility rate and local solar production, and present financing options — all without charging a penny. No credit card is required, and you are never obligated to purchase.
Our online estimates are typically within 5-10% of a final proposal. We use high-resolution satellite imagery to measure your roof dimensions, orientation, and shading. We factor in your state's utility rates, local solar irradiance data, and available incentives. The main variables that can change are roof condition (which requires a physical inspection) and your actual electricity usage. A site visit refines the estimate to within 1-2%.
No. Our initial quote is generated entirely online using satellite data and your electricity bill information. You can get your estimate from anywhere, at any time. A site visit is only needed later if you decide to move forward with installation — and we schedule those at your convenience.
The online estimate takes about 60 seconds. You enter your address, we analyze your roof via satellite, and you see your system size, cost, savings, and financing options immediately. If you request a detailed proposal with a site visit, that typically takes 1-2 weeks to complete.
Just your address and a recent electricity bill. Your address lets us analyze your roof via satellite. Your electricity bill tells us your usage (in kWh) and current rate, so we can calculate your exact savings. If you do not have your bill handy, we can estimate based on your home size and state averages.
Unfortunately, rooftop solar requires homeownership because panels are permanently installed on the property. However, renters can benefit from community solar programs, which are available in MA, CT, RI, NJ, ME, and NY. Community solar lets you subscribe to a shared solar farm and receive credits on your utility bill with no installation required.
The Section 25D residential solar tax credit expired on December 31, 2025. Homeowners who purchase solar with cash or a loan no longer receive a federal tax credit. However, the Section 48E commercial ITC (30%) is still available for projects beginning construction before July 4, 2026. This benefits homeowners who choose a solar lease or PPA, because the financing company (the system owner) claims the credit and passes savings through as lower monthly payments.
The general recommendation is to get 2-3 quotes to compare pricing and equipment options. However, with NuWatt you get transparent pricing across three panel tiers (Hyundai entry, Silfab standard, REC premium) and multiple financing options (cash, loan, lease/PPA, and Propel $0-down in ME and TX) in a single quote — so you can compare options without juggling multiple companies.
A solar estimate is a preliminary calculation based on satellite data and average assumptions — which is what you get instantly online. A solar quote (or proposal) is a detailed, binding offer that includes exact equipment specifications, permitting costs, installation timeline, and a guaranteed price after a site visit. NuWatt's online tool provides a highly accurate estimate that converts to a formal quote after a brief site assessment.
Absolutely not. Getting a quote is completely free with zero obligation. There is no contract, no commitment, and no pressure. Many homeowners use our tool simply to understand what solar would cost for their home. If you decide to move forward, great. If not, that is completely fine too.
Solar costs vary by state: Massachusetts averages $3.15/W, Connecticut $3.20/W, Rhode Island $3.10/W, New Hampshire $3.03/W, Maine $3.05/W, New Jersey $3.10/W, Texas $2.70/W, Pennsylvania $3.00/W, and Vermont $3.10/W. For a typical 8kW system, that translates to $21,600-$25,600 before state incentives. Get your personalized quote to see exact pricing for your home.
Yes. NuWatt designs and installs commercial solar systems for businesses, farms, nonprofits, and municipalities. Commercial projects benefit from the Section 48E ITC (up to 70% with adders for domestic content, energy communities, and low-income areas), MACRS accelerated depreciation, and potentially higher savings due to larger system sizes.
