The credit, originally part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and scheduled to last through 2034, was accelerated to terminate at the end of 2025 with the signing of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on July 4, 2025.
Key Details
Credit Amount: The credit is for 30% of the cost of new, qualified clean energy property for your home.
Eligible Improvements: Qualifying expenses include those for solar panels, solar water heaters, small wind turbines, geothermal heat pumps, and battery storage technology (capacity of 3 kWh or greater).
Limits: There is no annual or lifetime dollar limit on the credit amount for most qualifying property, but it is nonrefundable. Any excess credit can generally be carried forward to reduce tax in future years, provided the credit is still in effect.
How to Claim: To claim the credit, you must file IRS Form 5695 with your federal tax return for the tax year in which the property is installed and placed in service.
Homeowners considering these upgrades should act quickly to ensure installation is completed before the deadline. For more information on eligibility and to find other potential state or local incentives, you can consult a tax professional or use resources like the DSIRE database.
You should not need a permit to install a portable generator!
Depending on your area/location, You may need a permit for roof mounted panels.
Simply add a transfer switch or interlock kit and a generator inlet box.
It just needs to produce energy to offset your electric bill, if you're worried about IRS sending a pencil pusher to look at your electrical system.
Basically get a cheap/used solar panel and connect it to the DPU, then plug a few items into the DPU and you are good, until your final install.
If you are doing TOU augmenting, this only works out math wise if you are spending like $600+ a year on peak usage and year that you can 0 out else repayment time isn't worth it as battery prices will continue to decrease over time and a dollar today is worth way more than a dollar 5 years from now.
If you have solar, this could extend you based on power usage after peak sun...but we found the math just doesn't work, repayment period for us is over 10 years based on night usage and our off peak is 0.08/kw.
So model it out based on your usage to see if it makes sense under 5 year repay.

I had an extensive 'chat' w/AIs about this - what 'it' said was it comes down to a check-list showing it's configured & running - this is simply incase of an audit.
