Mississippi Incentives & Rebates
Mississippi has no state solar tax credit and very limited incentive programs. Net metering available through some utilities. Note: The federal 30% residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for customer-owned systems. Solar leases and PPAs may still offer indirect savings from the commercial tax credit. Check with a tax advisor for current eligibility. Source: DSIRE.
