Programs that may apply. Confirmed on the visit.
Every state Helio serves has its own utility and state programs. We put only what you can actually claim into a quote — then an advisor confirms eligibility in your home. Commercial projects are a different path — see commercial.

Still available, gated
Commercial 48E Investment Tax Credit
Third-party-owned and commercial projects may still claim the business credit if construction begins by July 4, 2026 and the system is placed in service by December 31, 2027. That is a commercial / lease path — not a homeowner 1040 line.
