Rebates & tax credits · As of September 2026
What may apply to your project — and what we verify for you
Incentive programs for solar, storage, and heat pumps change often at the federal, state, and utility level. Here’s an honest overview of where things stand, and what we’ll confirm before you commit to anything.
Programs change — we don’t guess
May qualify, subject to change
We deliberately avoid quoting fixed percentages or dollar amounts on this page. Tax credits, state rebates, and utility programs are set by outside agencies and can change with little notice. Below is a general, dated overview — not tax or legal advice. Confirm specifics with a tax professional and with us before assuming eligibility.
Federal — solar & storage
Certain solar and battery installations may currently qualify for a federal tax credit. Percentages, eligibility rules, and installation deadlines are set by federal law and can change. We’ll confirm current status for your specific project rather than quote a number here.
Federal — heat pumps
Based on current federal guidance as of September 2026, the 25C energy efficient home improvement credit for qualifying heat pumps is treated as expired for 2026 installs. If federal guidance changes, we’ll update this page.
Pennsylvania state programs
Pennsylvania has, at times, discussed HOMES- and HEAR-style rebate programs tied to federal funding. As of September 2026, we treat these as not confirmed open in this area — check current status with us before assuming availability.
Utility programs
West Penn Power and Penelec serve most of Centre County. Utility rebate or net metering programs vary and change over time — we’ll check what’s currently offered for your account when we scope your project.
What to ask us to verify
Before you plan a budget around an incentive, ask us to check: whether a program is currently active, whether your specific equipment and installer qualify, what documentation is required, and any deadlines tied to installation or claim dates.
We’re happy to walk through this alongside a project scope for solar, battery storage, or mini-splits.
- Federal rules can change installation-year eligibility
- State programs may open, pause, or run out of funding
- Utility offers vary by provider and by year
- We recheck status before finalizing your quote
