How savings are determined in 2026
Because federal credits ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, the savings come from state, utility, and local programs, which vary by utility and locality.
Net-metering credits, utility rebates, and state sales- and property-tax exemptions can be substantial, but exact amounts depend on your utility and locality.
