Solar Incentives by State
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit is at 30% until the end 2032 — which is a great start to reducing the cost of your solar panel system.
However, you may also have access to additional solar incentives from your state, municipality or utility that can reduce the cost of switching to solar even more. Every cent reduced from your solar panel system cost is money saved in energy costs.
Below is a list of local solar incentives broken by states. This list is a work in progress. If you don’t see your state listed below, contact us and we'll do our best to assist you with your solar incentives.

California Solar Incentives
Due to high energy costs and ample sunshine, California is a great state for solar. In fact, there are relatively few solar incentives in California because solar is already much more affordable than buying electricity from a utility.
Regardless, here are a few California solar incentives to familiarize yourself with.
State incentives
At the state level, California offers:
- A property tax exemption for the value added by solar equipment
- The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) rebates for battery storage up to $1,000 per kWh of capacity installed
- Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing
Local government incentives
We were unable to find solar incentives currently offered through city and county governments – but it’s worth checking with your local government bodies.
Utility incentives
Utility-based solar incentives in California include:
- Rancho Mirage Energy Authority’s $500 rebate
- Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s (SMUD) $150 stipend for residential solar installations
Non-profit incentives
GRID Alternatives is a California-based non-profit that offers no-cost solar installations for qualifying low-income households in disadvantaged communities.
Their solar programs include:
- Single-Family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH)
- Disadvantaged Communities – Single-Family Solar Homes (DAC-SASH)
- The Low-Income Weatherization Program (LIWP)
