Time is running out for Maine homeowners to take full advantage of the 30% federal solar tax credit. Starting in 2026, this benefit begins to phase down—and it may disappear entirely for residential projects.

If you’ve been thinking about going solar, now is the moment to act. Suncovia is here to help you lock in your savings.

How the Tax Credit Works

The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) lets you deduct 30% of your total solar system cost—including labor, equipment, permitting, and battery storage—from your federal tax liability.

That’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket.

Example:

  • Total system cost: $26,000

  • 30% tax credit: $7,800

  • Actual net cost after tax credit: $18,200

Why the Deadline Matters in Maine

Understanding the Solar Tax Credit Benefits

  • Permitting takes time: Maine towns and utilities move slowly—projects can take 6–10 weeks to complete

  • High demand in Q4: Everyone rushes to install before year-end, and schedules fill up fast

  • Battery inventory is limited: Delays and supply chain issues can add weeks to timelines

Extra Incentives for Maine Homeowners

  • Net Energy Billing: Earn credits for power sent back to the grid

  • Sales Tax Exemption: No sales tax on solar equipment

  • Property Tax Exemption: System value isn’t taxed

Suncovia will help you file all paperwork and take full advantage of every available rebate.
