Understanding Solar Subsidies

The sticker shock of a $30,000 solar installation often deters homeowners. But the federal and state governments heavily subsidize residential clean energy.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the total gross installation invoice from your contractor. This includes panels, inverters, labor, and necessary roofing prep.
  2. Select your State Tier. While the Federal ITC is nationwide, state benefits vary wildly. New York caps out at an extra $5,000, while Texas offers no state income tax credit (relying instead on property tax exemptions).
