In 2026, the headline tax-credit conversation is more complicated than it used to be. Some traditional residential pathways changed after recent legislation, but investment-structured projects can still capture the 30% credit.

That is why more companies are shifting toward third-party ownership structures that claim the incentive upstream and then market part of the benefit to the homeowner.

The danger is pricing opacity. If a company says you are getting a 30% benefit, make sure the starting price was not already inflated. Every clause still matters.
