Federal residential rules changed for 2026
Home Solar Atlas does not automatically apply the old 30% Section 25D residential credit to a 2026 project. Read the Federal Solar Incentives in 2026 guide before using older online tax-credit assumptions.

What counts as a solar incentive?
- State or local rebates and grant programs.
- Utility-specific solar or battery programs.
- Property-tax or sales-tax treatment where applicable.
- Distributed-generation compensation such as net metering or net billing.
- Renewable-energy certificate programs and other performance-based incentives.
Program availability changes frequently. Home Solar Atlas keeps the API lookup and source verification separate from the core financial estimate so outdated programs do not silently change a homeowner's payback result.
