Federal solar tax credit in 2026
The residential ITC remains 30% through 2032 for systems you own (purchase or loan). On a $16,830 install in Nevada, that is roughly $5,049 in tax credit value.
Leases and PPAs do not qualify — the installer keeps incentives. See our full ITC guide for claiming steps.
