IRS – Internal Revenue Service
The federal 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit provides a 30% tax credit with no dollar cap for qualifying renewable energy systems installed on a primary residence, including solar panels, solar water heaters, battery storage, and geothermal heat pumps. Excess credit carries forward to future tax years. Raleigh homeowners can stack this with NC Duke Energy solar rebates and net metering for maximum solar savings.
Example: $25,000 solar system installation yields $7,500 federal tax credit
Deadline: Annual – claim on federal return for the year the system is placed in service
This is just one of many grants, rebates, and free programs available. Stack them together to maximize your savings.
