Tax credit
#01
Federal solar tax credit (Section 25D, ended for 2026 purchases)
The 30 percent federal residential tax credit (Section 25D) applied through December 31, 2025 and is not available for a purchased home system placed in service after that date, so most 2026 homeowner purchases cannot claim it. If you go solar through a lease or a power purchase agreement, the provider may still claim the business version of the credit (Section 48E) and pass part of the value through in your rate. Confirm your eligibility with your installer and a tax advisor.

Net metering · Ohio
Net metering (PUCO-regulated investor-owned utilities)
Ohio requires its large investor-owned utilities to offer net metering under PUCO rules. Excess power your panels send to the grid is credited against what you draw at other times. Terms differ by utility: AEP Ohio, Duke Energy Ohio, FirstEnergy Ohio, and AES Ohio each set their own credit rates and true-up schedules under PUCO oversight. Your installer confirms the current tariff for your address before the project is quoted.
Worth checking before you sign:
taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules
differ by utility. Your matched installer confirms the exact numbers for
your address.

"We had difficulty with our monitoring site ans called for help. Ken not only got us back on the site, but introduced us to some new features. He spent a great deal of time with us and was patient and gave clear instructions as he walked us through the process. Very satisfied with support."
