As of January 2026, the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (30% ITC), Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, and EV Charger Credit have expired for new installations. Some state-level Home Energy Rebates (HEEHRA) may still be available where states have already obligated funds. State and local incentive programs may still offer savings. · Data last verified: 2026-03-12. Our methodology
