Think the Solar Tax Credit Is Gone?
Think Again.
Incentive-Backed Solar™ makes going solar easier, safer, and more affordable — with federal incentives baked in.
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.
