Is there a national solar rebate program?

No. The federal residential credit ended for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. It is not a cash rebate, and a system installed in 2026 cannot claim it. Cash rebates come from states and utilities and vary by location.

How do I find solar incentives for my specific ZIP code?

Start with your state page below for state-level credits and net metering rules, then check your utility's website for current rebate programs, which are often distributed first-come, first-served. The DSIRE database (dsireusa.org) is the authoritative source for granular local programs.

Which states have the best solar incentives in 2026?

Hawaii, New York, Arizona, South Carolina, and Massachusetts offer the largest state income tax credits in this dataset. New Jersey and Massachusetts add SREC income. The federal residential credit is not available on a 2026 install, so electricity rate and net metering matter more than a national credit.

Are there solar panel rebates near me?

Possibly — cash rebates for solar panels are set by your state and your local electric utility, not the federal government. Many utilities run first-come, first-served rebate programs with annual budget caps. Find your state below (or your city, if listed) to see which rebates and credits apply where you live, then confirm current rebate availability with your utility before installing.
