The 30% federal tax credit is gone.
Solar can still beat your Edison bill.

The federal tax credit for buying solar ended December 31, 2025 — and any company still advertising it is misleading you. But $0-down solar lease and PPA programs still qualify for incentives, and SoCal Edison rates aren't going down. Find out in 2 minutes if the numbers work for your home.

The honest 2026 picture

Gone: the 30% federal tax credit for purchased systems ended Dec 31, 2025. If a salesperson promises it, walk away.
Still here: $0-down solar leases and PPAs — the system owner still captures federal incentives and passes savings through as lower rates.
Getting worse: electricity rates are up roughly 32% over the past decade and rising faster than inflation. Every month you wait is a full-price bill.
Bigger deal now: pairing solar with a battery, since California's current rules pay far less for power you send back to the grid.

Does solar pencil out for your home?

Five quick questions. If the answer is honestly "no," we'll tell you that too.

Do you own the home?

Where's the home?

What does your electric bill run in a typical month?

Straight talk: below about $150/month, solar savings can be thin. The assessment is still free and will give you real numbers — but we won't pretend it's a slam dunk.

Roughly how old is your roof?

If the roof is near end-of-life, it's smarter to handle that first — the assessment will look at it honestly instead of bolting panels onto a dying roof.

The $0-down programs run a soft credit check — usually looking for around 650+. In the ballpark?

No problem — there are sometimes options, and the assessment is still free. Let's see what's possible.

Solar has to go through the property owner

We can't get you qualified directly as a renter — but if your landlord is open to it, send them our way. Thanks for the honesty; it saved us both time.

Question 1 of 5

Straight answers

Is it too hot in the Antelope Valley for solar?

Opposite problem — this is one of the sunniest regions in the country. Extreme heat trims panel efficiency slightly, but total production here beats most of the state.

Should I buy, lease, or do a PPA?

In 2026 the math changed. Buying gets no federal credit anymore, so paybacks are longer. Leases and PPAs are typically $0 down, include maintenance, and still capture federal incentives through the system owner. Which is better depends on your bill and your plans for the home — that's exactly what the free assessment figures out.

What happens during a power outage?

Solar alone shuts off during an outage (it's a safety requirement). Solar plus a battery keeps essentials running. If outages worry you, say so in your assessment — it changes the recommendation.

What if I sell my house?

Leases and PPAs transfer to the buyer — it's handled in escrow routinely. We walk through your specific contract terms before anyone signs anything.
