The Truth About 2026

Solar Is Not Dead. The Old Pitch Is.

When the federal tax credit ended, a lot of homeowners assumed solar stopped making sense. It did not. What changed is the math and the model.

This is a prepaid ownership program, not a lease that never ends. You go solar now, keep your ongoing electric cost low, and follow a defined path to owning the system. North Valley Solar Power designs and manages your solar project. A licensed installation partner performs the installation.

Straight Answers

Your Questions, Answered

Isn't solar over now that the tax credit ended?

No. The federal tax credit ended on December 31, 2025, but this prepaid program does not depend on it. The value comes from getting off a rising PG&E bill and following a path to owning your system.

Do I actually own the system, or is this a lease?

You own it. This is a prepaid ownership program with a defined path to the system becoming yours outright in year 6, not an open-ended rental.

Does North Valley Solar Power install it?

North Valley Solar Power designs and manages your solar project. A licensed installation partner performs the installation. We coordinate and oversee the project from design through activation.

Do I need great credit or a big deposit?

There is no credit check to qualify for the program, and no lien on your home. You can prepay upfront or finance through Travis Credit Union. The first step is simply to see if your home qualifies.

What if I move?

The system is transferable and stays with the home, so participating does not lock you in place if you decide to sell.
