We may earn a referral fee if you take a quote from a partner lender. Your monthly payment is set by the lender, not by us.
Not tax advice. The federal residential clean energy credit (Section 25D) ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Cash and loan buyers no longer claim it. Lease and PPA structures still capture the commercial Section 48 credit and pass it through. See IRS guidance on Section 25D. Always confirm with a qualified tax professional.
