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.
