Tax Credits & Rebates

Residential Clean Energy Credit

(solar panels, battery storage, installation)

Installing solar panels, a home standby generator, or upgrading your electrical panel is a smart investment—and federal and state incentives make it even more affordable. The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit lets you deduct nearly a third of your solar installation cost directly from your federal taxes, covering panels, battery storage, and labor. Add in the 30% EV Charger Tax Credit (up to $1,000), up to $600 for electrical panel upgrades, and 30% back on battery storage systems, and the savings stack up fast. Montana's net metering program through NorthWestern Energy means you'll also earn credits for any excess energy your solar system sends back to the grid, lowering your utility bills year-round.

These credits and rebates significantly reduce your upfront costs and shorten the payback period on your investment—often by several years. When you combine them with financing options, you can start saving on energy bills immediately while paying less out of pocket. Our team at Edison Electric will help you understand exactly which incentives apply to your project so you get the maximum return. Ready to see how much you can save?
