Terms of Use
Last Updated: April 13, 2025
Important Notice
Solar incentive information on this site is provided for educational purposes only. Incentive programs change frequently and may have expired or been modified. Always verify current incentive details with your state energy office, utility, or DSIRE (dsireusa.org) before making financial decisions. This site does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Consult a qualified tax professional before claiming the federal ITC or any state solar tax credit.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using SolarRebateMap (solar-rebate-map.vercel.app), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this site. We may update these terms at any time — continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of updated terms.
2. Informational Purpose Only
SolarRebateMap is an informational resource only. The content on this site — including solar incentive descriptions, amounts, eligibility requirements, tax credit information, and savings estimates — is provided for general educational purposes. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, tax, investment, or legal advice of any kind.
3. Incentive Information May Change
Solar incentive programs, tax credits, rebate amounts, and eligibility requirements change frequently due to legislative action, regulatory changes, utility program modifications, and funding exhaustion. SolarRebateMap makes reasonable efforts to keep information current, but we cannot guarantee that any specific incentive is currently available, has not been modified, or has not expired. You must independently verify all incentive information before making any financial decision.
4. Verify with Official Sources
Before making any decisions based on information found on this site, you should verify current program details with: (1) Your state's energy office or relevant state agency; (2) DSIRE — the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency at dsireusa.org, the authoritative source for US renewable energy incentives; (3) Your local utility company for utility-specific rebates and net metering policies; (4) The IRS for current federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) rules; (5) A qualified, licensed solar installer familiar with your state's current programs.
5. Not Financial or Tax Advice
SolarRebateMap does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. The information about the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), state tax credits, SRECs, and other incentives is provided for general understanding only. Tax law is complex and individual circumstances vary significantly. You should consult a qualified tax professional (such as a CPA or enrolled agent) before claiming any solar tax credit on your federal or state tax return. Incorrect tax credit claims can result in penalties and interest.
6. ITC and Tax Credit Disclaimer
Information about the federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is based on IRS guidance current at the time of writing. ITC eligibility, rates, phase-down schedules, and qualification requirements are subject to change by Congress. The ITC rate, carryforward rules, and interaction with other credits described on this site may not reflect the most current IRS rules. Always consult a tax professional and refer to the current version of IRS Form 5695 instructions for claiming the residential clean energy credit.
7. No Warranty
