Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay back the 30% federal tax credit?
No, the federal tax credit is a non-refundable credit you claim on your tax return. It reduces your federal income tax liability.
Can I combine the federal tax credit with state incentives?
Yes! Most incentives stack together. Federal tax credit, SGIP rebates, and utility incentives can all apply to your system.
What happens if I sell my home?
With PACE financing, the obligation transfers to the new owner. With loans or cash, you own the system and may transfer it.
How long does it take to see savings?
Most customers see positive cash flow in 5-7 years after accounting for all incentives, then enjoy free energy for 20+ years.
