25D: Energy Storage Tax Credit (Harvest)
Rebate Overview
Overview
The 25D Energy Storage Tax Credit is a tax credit that allows homeowners to claim 30% of the cost of installing a battery storage system for their home. This credit applies to systems with at least 3 kilowatt-hours of capacity and can be claimed using Form 5695 on your 2025 tax return. Please note that this tax credit is set to expire on December 31, 2025, so it's important to complete your installation before then to take advantage of the savings.
Benefits
Installing a battery storage system can enhance your home's energy resilience by providing backup power during outages.

Additionally, utilizing battery storage contributes to a cleaner environment by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
