How to Stack Rebates for Maximum Savings

1
Federal ITC First
The 30% federal tax credit applies to the full installed cost before any other incentives. A $25,000 solar system earns a $7,500 federal credit.
2
Add State Credits
Many states offer additional credits on top of the federal ITC. Hawaii's 35% state credit plus the federal 30% means 65% of your costs can be offset.
3
Claim HEEHRA Rebates
If you qualify by income, HEEHRA point-of-sale rebates reduce what you pay upfront — before the tax credits are even applied.
4
Utility Rebates
Many utilities offer their own cash rebates on heat pumps, smart thermostats, and EV chargers. Check your utility's website or DSIRE.org.
