The Story You've Been Told About Solar Incentives
Other solar companies have been saying the same things for months — maybe you’ve even heard these yourself: “Never lease solar panels” or “If you don’t buy and install solar this year, you’ll lose the tax credit — and it’ll cost you $10,000 more.”
Sounds scary, right? That’s the whole point. But don’t worry, you’re actually in the power position right now.
The Truth About Solar Incentives After 2025
Let’s clear this up right away: Homeowners can no longer claim the federal solar tax credit directly. That ship has sailed. But here’s the good news: the incentives didn’t disappear — they shifted.
And with Incentive-Backed Solar™, homeowners are actually in the best position ever to go solar.

Why Incentive-Backed Solar Makes Sense:
Incentives Still Apply
You haven’t missed out — the federal incentives are baked directly into your plan. No paperwork, no waiting, no need for tax liability or risk of getting audited.
All of the Benefits, None of the Stress
All the savings, guarantees, and long-term control you’d expect from owning panels — but with zero upfront cost and zero debt.
Financing Companies Are Competing for You
Now that homeowners can’t claim the credit, solar financers are passing every advantage into Incentive-Backed plans. That means lower costs and stronger guarantees than ever before.
Flexible Ownership Path
Want to own later? You can buy out the system, just like a car lease. Until then, enjoy the savings without the burden.
Premium Protection, Without the Risk
25-year production guarantee, system monitoring, and full coverage. If it breaks, it’s fixed.
No Debt on Your Credit Report
Since it’s not a loan, there’s no debt on your credit report. Incentive-Backed Solar protects your buying power.
What Is Incentive-Backed Solar™?
Incentive-Backed Solar™ is the new way homeowners can take advantage of federal solar incentives — even though the tax credit for ownership has ended.
Think of it as solar made simple:
- Instead of filing for tax credits, the incentives are already applied
- Instead of taking out a loan or writing a check, there’s no debt on your credit report
- Instead of worrying about repairs, production, or paperwork, you’re covered for 25 years
It’s not a loophole. It’s not a gimmick. It’s just how solar works now. And the sooner you lock it in, the more you’ll save.

Steven Is. SaldarriagaNovember 15, 2024 Very helpful Cameron was there to answer all my questions my system is not working yet but I'm happy with all the work is done so far David FedericoNovember 15, 2024 Evergreen and its staff were true professionals throughout the whole process. I met with 6 different solar companies. Evergreen was the first I sat down with and the leader throughout the entire process. I knew nothing about solar prior to meeting with them, and after our 45 minute meeting I was thoroughly informed about all aspects, details, numbers, and the expected timeline. No pushy sales tactics, and the numbers they initially shared with me were the best out of the six companies I interviewed. The project manager and installation company updated us every step of the way, and were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Evergreen. Teddy PanoutsakopoulosNovember 15, 2024 Great Company hands down! Prior to going with this company I also did a lot of research and sat down with 2 other companies, before choosing Evergreen Solar. My sales person Isaiah Hernandez was top notch. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and courteous. My Fiancé and I had multiple questions and he had a prompt answer to all of them. Seamless install from the beginning to the end. Had my solar installed 2 months ago and still to this day if I have and concerns or questions Isaiah Hernandez (sales person) personal phone number he answers for me in minutes. Great Company A+++ marjorie robbleeNovember 14, 2024 Evergreen was a great company to work with. We had a roof installed and solar panels . Excellent communication from Kyle . He kept us up to date with all the Steps. The workmanship is outstanding. I look forward to saving on my electric bill with clean energy. Sarah AchinNovember 14, 2024 Great experience with Evergreen Solar. Jared is great - he is helpful, informative and available to answer questions before and after the install. Michelle MarvelNovember 13, 2024 A great experience,! Cam was most helpful during the entire process. PATRICK CHEANovember 12, 2024 Robert AvilesNovember 12, 2024 After meeting with many companies, Law Nguyen from Evergreen Solar comes in and helps me understand the process and savings of having Solar Panels. He patiently waited for my wife and repeated the presentation. We agreed that purchasing was the best option for us. We are extremely happy with the service we received before, during and after the install. The installers were quick, neat and extremely polite. We really didn’t have much to do. Thank you so much for this experience, you have a star product and an amazing salesman in Law, he is the BEST!!! Christopher BrownNovember 12, 2024 Great experience. The sales rep was honest to his word. I would highly recommend.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 140 reviews

Everything Homeowners Ask Us About Incentive-Backed Solar™
Not anymore — and honestly, it never really was. The “leasing is bad” line was a sales tactic other companies used to push cash or loan deals. With Incentive-Backed Solar™, the incentives are built directly into your plan, your savings are guaranteed, and you’re fully protected with 25-year coverage. For most homeowners, it’s actually the smarter move.
Yes. Just like a car lease, you can buy out the system at the end of the term (or sooner) if ownership makes sense for you. Until then, you enjoy guaranteed savings with none of the debt.
Your plan is fully transferable. The next homeowner takes over the agreement and inherits guaranteed lower energy costs — often making your home more attractive on the market.
Yes. Homeowners can no longer claim the tax credit directly, but with Incentive-Backed Solar™, the incentives are applied on your behalf, so you still benefit from them.
No. This isn’t a loan, so there’s no debt on your credit report and no lien on your property.
Every home is different, but we guarantee your solar payment will be lower than your utility bill from day one — and it stays protected against future electric rate hikes.
You’re fully covered. The system includes a 25-year production guarantee, monitoring, and warranty. If it breaks, it’s fixed at no cost to you.
No. Because you don’t carry the system as a personal asset, it isn’t added to your policy — which means no increase in your premiums.
Federal incentives are locked in through 2027. After that, the opportunity ends — which is why homeowners who act now are in the best position.
We believe in ethical pricing (the same for everyone), education first (no pressure sales), and premium Tier 1 products backed by comprehensive 25-year guarantees. Other companies sell solar. We make sure it works for you long-term.
They Said You Missed Out. The Truth? You're Right on Time.
Incentive-Backed Solar™ makes it easier, safer, and more affordable than ever to cut your utility bill — with incentives built right in.
