**NEW** 2025 California Solar Incentives
With the rise of battery storage and the push for EVs in California, more incentives are available than ever for Solar, Battery Backup, and EV Charging. Read this article as we breakdown each incentive available for your home.
30% Federal tax credit
Average Tax Credit of $10,000 per Installation
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, all Solar Installations from 2022-2032 are eligible for a 30% Federal Tax Credit. This Tax Credit works by directly lowering the amount of Federal taxes that you pay until you receive your full amount. Since this is money that would have been spent anyways, this is as effective as cash back in your bank account.
However, you must own your panels in order to claim this credit. If you choose to do a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement a.k.a. Lease) then you will not be able to claim this massive tax incentive.
If you do not pay enough income tax in one year to qualify for the full credit, you can have this credit carry over for up to 5 years. If you still do not pay enough income tax, then the PPA option may be better for you.

$2400 Rebate Per EV Charger
Receive a $2400 Rebate for installing a level 2 EV Charger on your home. If you have ever considered purchasing an electric vehicle in the future, now is the time to do add an EV Charger. The rebate for the charger is through 3CE, and it is 150% of what we charge to install the charger to your home.
10% American made tax credit
Get a 10% Tax Credit When Using American Made Products
The 10% Tax Credit for American Made goods has been in place for multiple years, but it has not been utilized until 2025. Currently buying American made products, once factoring in the tax credit, is cheaper than buying foreign products.
Currently, we are offering all American-made products as our default option on all cash and commercial installations. For financed projects, foreign parts are still being utilized as our default option with American-made options available for a small charge. The net cost with the tax credit with financing is still cheaper when you buy American.
No Out of pocket costs required
Great Financing Options
Solar Financing tends to have better terms and rates than most other HELOCs or Home Improvements. Since Solar is being pushed by the Federal Government, you can get Solar with no down payment required or added fees. This works similar to a VA Loan for a home. All finance options are fully transferable when selling your home, and have the option to be paid off early.
PPA Options
PPAs have become very popular since 2023. This is in part due to rising interest rates. PPAs offer a $0 out of pocket solar installation where the bank must maintain the system for the duration of the PPA. This is a great option for people who are worried about debt-to-income, or people who pay little to no income tax. All PPA options that we offer are fully transferable when selling your home.
