The federal residential solar credit ended in 2025. A narrower commercial credit is still available — we'll help you claim what you qualify for and plan around what's still open.
The 30% residential Investment Tax Credit (Section 25D) ended for any system placed in service after December 31, 2025 — it isn't available for new residential installs. If your system went in before that date, you can still claim it correctly; if you're a business, a separate commercial credit under Section 48E is still open on a narrowing timeline.
We review which credit actually applies to your situation, prepare every required tax form, and stay with you afterward with ongoing support, including IRS audit protection.

Full bio62% recovered in the first year
For a client with $250,000 in taxable income and a $31,332 solar purchase, we secured an $8,146 solar ITC credit plus $11,176 in additional tax incentives — $19,322 in total tax benefits, or 62% of the purchase price recovered in year one.

Answers to the questions we hear most often about solar tax credit.
For homeowners, it already ended — the residential credit (Section 25D) doesn't apply to systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. A narrower commercial credit under Section 48E is still available under stricter deadlines.
If your system was placed in service on or before December 31, 2025, you still claim the credit on the tax return for the year it was installed — the termination affects new installations going forward, not systems that already qualified.
No need to worry — we provide a walk-through video to help you insert your solar tax forms into TurboTax or other self-serve tax software.
No. We encourage you to continue working with your current tax professional, and we'll help answer their questions as needed.
No — it's a nonrefundable credit that can only reduce your tax liability to zero, not generate a refund beyond that. Any amount you can't use in the year you install carries forward to reduce next year's tax bill instead.
Yes. The commercial credit (Section 48E) is still available, with an exception for projects where construction began on or before July 4, 2026, and a general deadline of facilities placed in service by December 31, 2027.
Yes — the commercial credit under Section 48E can still be claimed for a rental property or business project, subject to its construction-start and placed-in-service deadlines.
Nevada doesn't have a major state-level solar tax credit; the main financial benefit came from the federal credit and net metering through the local utility.
