Start with DSIRE’s state programme directory, then follow through to the state energy office, tax authority or utility administering the actual programme. DSIRE is a discovery source, not approval. We publish another state guide only after checking the programme rules and application route.
Four checks for every offer
- Eligibility: service territory, homeowner/tenant status, income, equipment and contractor requirements.
- Timing: reservation before installation, completion window and application deadline.
- Money: grant/rebate, tax credit, tax exemption or future bill credit; maximum award versus likely benefit.
- Evidence: a current official programme page, approved reservation or written tax/utility treatment—not just a sales quote.
