How to read these pages. Power Done Better installs in Southwest Florida — that's the only place we do local work. Every other state page is educational + referral: here's what generally applies, verify locally. States marked Verifying are ones where we haven't finished confirming the state-specific numbers, so those pages show only the federal baseline and point you to DSIRE.

Rules, rates, and incentives change and vary by utility — confirm current terms with your utility and a licensed installer before deciding. Figures on these pages are cited educational estimates, not quotes or guarantees. Nationwide in 2026: the federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired 12/31/2025, so a 2026 cash/loan purchase gets $0 federal residential credit.
