The 25C Home Improvement Credit Also Ended for 2026 Property
Section 25C (windows, heat pumps, insulation, etc.) is a separate credit from solar’s 25D. Under OBBBA, 25C generally does not apply to property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
Why this shows up in solar research
Sales conversations sometimes mix heat-pump HVAC, insulation, and solar incentives. In 2026, assume neither 25C nor 25D applies to newly completed residential work unless your tax advisor documents an exception.
Common myths
- Solar + heat pump still gets a federal efficiency rebate in 2026 (Usually false for new completes).
