How much is the solar tax credit in 2026?
Last reviewed
The federal residential clean-energy credit (25D) has EXPIRED — under the OBBBA it ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025 (the original schedule ran through 2032). If your system was installed on or before Dec 31, 2025, claim 30% on your 2025 return. For 2026 installs there is no federal credit, so the economics now ride on gross cost, net-metering policy (the rate at which your utility credits exported solar), and the remaining state incentives — battery-storage programs in CA (SGIP), MA (SMART), and NY (NY-Sun).
