New York
Provides up to 60% cost reduction through combined federal tax credits, state tax credits, and property tax exemptions. The state ranks among the top for solar installations and incentives.
New Jersey
Operates the Solar Successor Incentive Program (SuSI), offering bill savings and cash incentives. Legislative efforts aim to expand battery storage and virtual power plant (VPP) programs to enhance returns.
Arizona
Offers a state income tax credit of up to $1,000 alongside federal incentives, reducing system costs significantly. Despite net metering changes, solar remains viable due to abundant sunlight and tax benefits.
Illinois
The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (2021) spurred growth, with Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) improving accessibility. Affordable installations and policy momentum position it as a rising solar leader.
Other Notable States
- Massachusetts: Ranked #1 for home solar due to strong incentives and net metering.
- Maryland: Combines federal credits with state-specific rebates and tax exemptions.
- Texas & Florida: High solar capacity growth driven by falling costs (Florida prices dropped 37% in a decade) and hurricane-resilient solar-battery systems.
Federal tax credits (30% of system cost) apply nationwide, but states with additional incentives and progressive policies provide the most comprehensive savings.
