Enter your details below to see a personalized breakdown of tax credits, battery storage rebates, panel upgrade savings, and net metering optimization for your state.
We calculate your eligibility for the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and state-specific tax credits based on your installation year and location. The federal ITC was 30% through 2025, and state credits vary from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on where you live.
Adding battery storage to an existing solar system is the #1 upgrade opportunity in 2026. Our calculator factors in state rebates (like California's SGIP or North Carolina's Duke PowerPair), annual savings from peak-rate avoidance, and your net battery cost after incentives.
Solar panel technology has improved dramatically. If your panels are 3+ years old, newer panels or microinverter upgrades can boost production by 15-25%. We estimate the additional kWh production and dollar savings from upgrading your existing system.
Net metering policies are changing across the country. We analyze your state's current net metering rules, check your grandfathering status, and calculate how much more you could earn by optimizing when you export power to the grid versus storing it with a battery.
Yes, 100% free. No email or sign-up required. We want solar homeowners to understand their savings potential.
Our calculations use real incentive program data, state electricity rates, and current federal/state tax credit rules. Estimates are within 10-15% of actual savings for most homeowners.
We cover all 50 US states with detailed incentive data for the top solar states including California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Colorado.
The 30% federal ITC for homeowner-owned systems expired December 31, 2025. However, if you installed by that date, you can still claim it on your 2025 taxes (due April 15, 2026). Third-party lease/PPA arrangements may still qualify through 2027.
