Solar by Utility · Net Metering, Tariffs & SRECs · Updated for 2026
How you get paid for solar depends on your electric utility. Net metering, utility tariffs, and SREC programs all set the value of the power your panels send back to the grid. The 30% federal solar tax credit (Section 25D) ended December 31, 2025, so what your utility credits matters more than ever. Find your power company below to see what applies.
Your power company sets the value of the solar you send to the grid, so the payback on the same system can differ from one utility to the next. Search for yours below, or filter by state, to see its net metering rules, tariffs, and SREC or incentive details.

Yes. The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) ended for expenditures made after December 31, 2025, so a homeowner who installs in 2026 cannot claim that federal credit.
