Per the IRS, the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025, so homeowner-owned systems installed in 2026 do not qualify. Leased/PPA systems are owned by a business that follows separate tax rules; ask the provider how that affects your price.

FAQ

What solar or battery incentives apply in Fresno County?

It depends on your utility and any CCA enrollment. Central Valley PG&E customers often evaluate storage for TOU and summer cooling loads. Review the incentive stack on this page, then confirm each program on its official site before you buy.

How do I know if I am on PG&E?

Check the utility name on your electric bill. City or municipal utilities can differ from the surrounding IOU. Border ZIPs should use the directory ZIP finder.
