Federal Residential Solar Tax Credit (Section 25D)

This credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for systems installed in 2026 or later.

The 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) applied to solar and battery storage systems placed in service through December 31, 2025. Systems installed in 2026 or later do not qualify. Many online calculators and contractor quotes still include this credit — be sure any estimate you receive reflects current law. The commercial Investment Tax Credit (ITC, Section 48) has different rules and may still apply to certain business or commercial installations.
