Several incentives can lower what you actually pay for solar.
- Federal tax credit. A federal residential solar tax credit lets eligible homeowners claim a percentage of their system cost against their federal taxes.
- State and local programs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, credits or performance payments that vary by location.
- Net metering. While not a rebate, net metering is an ongoing financial benefit; see what net metering is.
