The “Solar Supercycle” isn’t just about tech companies getting rich—it’s about the government paying you to upgrade your home.
In 2026, the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is your most powerful tool for wealth protection. It effectively gives you a 30% discount on a full solar system, but most homeowners fail to claim it correctly.
The 30% Wealth Transfer
For every $10,000 you spend on solar installation, the federal government gives you a $3,000 tax credit. This is not a deduction; it is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the taxes you owe.
What is Covered?
- Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panels (The silicon panels themselves)
- Labor Costs (Installation and site prep)
- Battery Storage (If installed with the system)
- Sales Tax (Yes, even the tax on the panels)
Supercycle Insight: Because high-purity quartz prices are rising, panel efficiency is increasing. Buying a higher-grade panel today often yields better long-term ROI than cheaper models from 2024.
How to Qualify
You must own the system (cash or loan). Leased systems generally do not qualify for the homeowner credit (the leasing company gets it).

Did you know that standalone battery storage (like Tesla Powerwall or Enphase) also qualifies for the 30% credit if it holds at least 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh)? This is massive for energy security.
