Investment tax credit (48E) for systems under 1 MW AC. Larger systems get 6% unless they meet wage and apprenticeship rules.
For businesses
Solar and batteries for your business.
Businesses still get the federal investment tax credit (48E). Answer a few questions about the property and your bill, and we’ll call you to go over it.
The 48E credit, in three numbers
Federal law, IRC §48E. This is not tax advice: your tax professional confirms what applies to you.
Solar projects that start construction after July 4, 2026 must be in service by this date to qualify (federal law, IRC §48E).
Batteries qualify on their own and don’t have the 2027 deadline: their credit starts to phase down for projects that begin construction in 2034.
How your business can use the credit depends on its tax situation: unused credit can be carried to other tax years, it can be sold to another taxpayer (transferability), and tax-exempt organizations may get it as a payment (elective pay). For projects that start construction after 2025, equipment with too much content from certain foreign companies can cost the credit. The credit for homeowners (25D) ended after 2025 — this is the business credit. We don’t give tax advice; please talk to your tax professional.
Worth knowing
Good projects start with the right questions.
- Have a recent electric bill at hand. We go over your electric bills and your building with you, then prepare a proposal for your business.
- Your tax professional decides. We show what the credit rules say; your advisor confirms what your business can use.

The same few questions as for a home: the address, the property and your bill. We’ll call you to talk about solar and batteries for your business. You don’t have to sign anything.
