How we leverage the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) to provide you with accurate, up-to-date solar incentive information and financial calculations.
DSIRE is the most comprehensive source of information on incentives and policies that support renewables and energy efficiency in the United States. Established in 1995 and operated by the N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center, DSIRE is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Trusted by policymakers, installers, and consumers nationwide as the go-to resource for renewable energy incentives.
Our platform integrates DSIRE data to provide accurate financial calculations and incentive information.
Our system continuously monitors DSIRE for policy changes, new incentives, and program updates to ensure our calculations reflect current opportunities.
When you enter your ZIP code, we automatically identify all federal, state, local, and utility incentives available in your specific area.
DSIRE incentive data is integrated into our solar calculator to provide accurate cost estimates and payback period calculations.
We monitor net metering policies, renewable portfolio standards, and interconnection rules to provide comprehensive guidance.
We track incentive expiration dates and funding limitations to help you understand timing considerations for your solar installation.
Our analysis combines federal tax credits, state rebates, local incentives, and utility programs for complete financial picture.
Comprehensive coverage of all incentive categories from DSIRE's database
Credit against federal income tax for 30% of solar system cost through 2032, then steps down to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034.
Credit for excess electricity sent to grid, with time-of-use rates and export compensation based on avoided cost.
Solar installations are excluded from property tax assessments, preventing increases in property tax.
