Solar Power
webcentivewebcentive - home
Solar power for homes, cabins and off-grid living: official guides, calculators, scam warnings, incentives, batteries, inverters, panels, kits and training. Start with PVWatts to see what panels would produce where you live, then size the battery bank for your darkest week if you're going off-grid. Federal tax credit: the IRS says the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) "is not available for any property placed in service after December 31, 2025", so a salesperson promising that federal credit on a new home system in 2026 is wrong; check DSIRE for state and utility incentives instead. 'Free' solar panel offers are scams. Get several written quotes, check NABCEP certification and your state contractor license, read every page of a loan, lease or PPA before signing, and get the permit and utility interconnection approval. Off-grid and battery systems also need a code-compliant install (NEC Article 690) and safe lithium battery placement. Companies below are commercial.
