1) What still matters in Indiana in 2026

Note: DSIRE remains the authoritative, regularly-updated source for state-specific incentives.

2) How savings are assessed

Federal credits are not available for systems placed in service in 2026 or later.

Savings vary by state, utility, and locality, so the effective value comes from local programs, not a universal federal credit.

To maximize value, compare your utility’s net-metering/export-credit policy, any utility rebates, and state or local tax exemptions that apply to batteries and energy-efficiency upgrades.
