Interpretation
This is a Solar Incentive Verification Planner, not a maintained definitive incentive database. It creates an official-source research checklist for verifying tax credits, rebates, performance incentives, utility programs, loans, exemptions, and low-income programs. It does not claim that a program is available or that a user is eligible.
Verification categories
- Tax credits
- Rebates and point-of-sale discounts
- Performance incentives
- Utility programs and demand-response/VPP terms
- Loans and financing
- Property, sales, or use-tax exemptions
- Low-income and designated-community programs
Formula or method
planner output = jurisdiction + utility territory + customer type + technology + ownership + installation date → source paths and verification questions
Assumptions and limitations
- Program rules, funding, equipment lists, and deadlines can change. Check each linked administrator or government source on the date you make a financial decision.
- Do not add two incentives together until the controlling rules address basis adjustments, ownership, stacking, and the same installation date.
- DSIRE is a research index; its entry is not a substitute for the issuing authority, utility, tax professional, or program administrator.
Worked example
For a California customer-owned battery installed on the current date, the planner lists the selected context, shows the date each path was generated, and asks the user to verify federal tax treatment, state programs, utility offerings, equipment eligibility, and installation requirements separately.
