30% Rebate - Solar Generator Power Station

4,274 1,773 January 2, 2026 at 04:19 PM
Hello all,

I purchased a F3000 Anker SOLIX power station on the 31st but the product isn't going to arrive until the 12th. Is there any way that I can still qualify for this rebate? The terms are somewhat vague and don't want to drop a bunch of money right now if it doesn't make sense.

I think you're talking federal tax rebate...

That said, if you're referring to the Residential Clean Energy Credit I would tell you that the date of purchase is what dictates your eligibility. Meaning If you bought it in 2025 it doesn't matter that you didn't receive it until 2026, you're still eligible to file the tax credit in your 2025 tax filing.

Note that I'm not a tax pro...

I would agree as long as it qualifies and you have a receipt dated in 2025 that is what counts. It does say placed into service but unless your receipt shows it will not ship until 2026 you are probably fine. Also oddly enough you do not send any proof?

The shipping date is 2026 unfortuantely. I think I ordered it too late in the game to get the rebate.

So you do not have anything that just shows the order date for 2025 without the shipping date? Not sure how much actual money is involved but you could just roll the dice like i said they do not require proof when you file your taxes.

The lack of a requirement to actually provide proof to me make me wonder how much fraud has been going on for stuff like this. Unless they come to your house to see the system it is pretty crazy and if you know someone with a system you could split the cost both take the credit and if they come just show them the batteries. if there was a requirement to have the system installed it would be a different story.
