Federal baseline
Start with federal credits and national guidance, then confirm current filing rules and eligibility for your property and system type.
Incentives and Financing Programs
Incentives can materially change project economics, but eligibility and funding windows vary by location and utility. Use this page to review currently published programs and to follow a repeatable verification checklist before signing a proposal.
State and utility programs
State agencies and electric utilities often run rebates or pilot programs. Program terms can change quickly, so verify current requirements directly with the program owner.
Installer quote checks
Ask installers to separate base project scope from incentive assumptions. This makes it easier to compare bids if funding levels or timing shift.
How to verify program eligibility
- 1. Confirm whether the program is active and accepting applications.
- 2. Validate geography, equipment, and applicant eligibility requirements.
- 3. Check whether pre-approval is required before installation starts.
- 4. Keep copies of permits, invoices, and commissioning records for submission.
- 5. Reconfirm timeline and document requirements before final payment to your installer.
Published program inventory is still growing
We are expanding location-specific incentive entries. In the meantime, use this verification checklist with your state energy office and utility portal before making purchase decisions.
You can still compare providers by service and location while you validate current incentive availability.
