Electric Vehicle & Solar Incentives
Several states and local utilities offer electric vehicle and solar incentives for customers, often taking the form of a rebate. Rebates can be claimed at or after purchase, while tax credits are claimed when filing income taxes. Find state and local-specific incentives available in your area.
For the most up-to-date information, please review the sponsoring entity’s website for details on eligibility, redemption and program details.
Federal Tax Incentives
Solar
The following federal income tax credits are available to anyone who purchases a solar electric system including solar panels. Energy storage paired with solar systems are considered qualified expenditures eligible for the tax credit.
*The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 signed December 27, 2020, provided a two-year extension of the Investment Tax Credit for solar. The dates above reflect the extension.
State, Local and Utility Incentives
Depending on your location, state and local utility incentives may be available for electric vehicles and solar systems. Most rebates can either be claimed after purchase or reflected as a reduction in the price of your purchase, while tax credits are claimed when filing income taxes for the year.
Many states also offer non-cash incentives for electric vehicles, such as carpool lane access and free municipal parking.
Some communities and utility companies also offer additional incentives through cash back, discounted rate plans and other credits.
