Solar Incentives
Government entities and local utilities frequently provide incentives for solar installations, typically in the form of rebates or tax credits. Rebates can be obtained either at the time of purchase or afterwards, while tax credits are claimed during income tax filing. To discover the incentives applicable to your area, locate state and local-specific programs below.
To obtain the most up-to-date information, visit the sponsoring entity's website. There, you can find details regarding eligibility, how to redeem the incentives, and additional program information.

Eligibility and Redemption
The listed incentives are provided for your convenience and should not be regarded as an exhaustive or guaranteed list of eligibility or availability. These programs can change or terminate at any time, and they are beyond the control of Westlake Solar. Some programs may have budget limitations or deadlines, which can result in their discontinuation. To obtain the latest information on availability, eligibility, and redemption requirements, please visit the website of the specific program.
Eligibility for tax credits depends on each individual's personal tax situation. We recommend speaking with a tax professional for guidance.
