Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit

Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit

Please verify eligibility and requirements before applying.

The Residential Clean Energy Credit is a nonrefundable tax credit that helps offset the cost of installing qualifying clean energy systems. This includes solar panels and home battery storage systems (with a capacity greater than 3 kilowatt-hours).

In 2022, the credit was extended and expanded. Homeowners can now claim 30% of the total cost of eligible solar and energy storage installations placed in service between January 1, 2022. However, this credit is scheduled to end on December 31, 2025.

As of 2023, installed standalone energy storage devices - such as home backup batteries with a capacity of 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or more - also may qualify for this tax credit, even if they're not installed alongside solar panels. Select Goal Zero power stations, including the Yeti PRO 4000, Yeti 6000X, Yeti 3000X, and any solar generator kits that include these models, may be eligible. However, please consult with a professional tax expert and the links below to help determine eligibility.
