Puerto Rico Incentives & Rebates

Puerto Rico has strong solar incentives and the Green Energy Incentives Act provides tax credits for solar installations. The territory is actively encouraging distributed solar and battery due to chronic grid instability. Net metering available. 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.
