How incentives work in Indiana in 2026

Net-metering or export-credit rules are set by your utility, and state rebates or exemptions, plus local efficiency programs, continue to shape your final bill.

Savings depend on your exact utility, your property, and local policies, so the math is local rather than federal.

What to look for in your exact home savings

Check your utility’s net-metering or export-credit policy to understand how any solar production reduces your bill.

Look for state solar rebates, sales tax exemptions, and property tax exemptions offered in your area; these can significantly affect payback.

Ask about local efficiency incentives for upgrades like heat pumps and weatherization to maximize overall energy savings.
