The rules changed. The federal tax credit is gone for homeowner purchases. State incentives vary wildly. Electricity rates keep climbing. Here's what actually matters for your home in 2026.
The Residential Solar Tax Credit Expired
Section 25D ended December 31, 2025 under OBBBA. Homeowners who buy or finance solar with a loan receive $0 in federal tax credits. However, third-party-owned systems (leases and PPAs) still qualify for the 30% ITC under Section 48/48E because the installer claims the credit. State incentives remain the primary path to savings.
