Local Incentives & Tax Breaks for Downey/Hollydale (2026)

Important change in 2026: The federal 30% residential solar tax credit expired on December 31, 2025, and is no longer available for homeowner-owned systems. However, you can still access significant savings through alternative structures and California programs.

What's Still Available in 2026

‍

Act Before January 1, 2027

The California property tax exclusion sunsets on January 1, 2027 unless extended. Your system must be:

• Fully completed

• Connected and active with CAISO

before the deadline to qualify. This could save you thousands annually in property taxes.

‍

How to Still Get 30% Value in 2026

Most Hollydale homeowners now use tax equity partnerships:

• Third-party partner claims the federal credit on your behalf

• Partner reduces system cost or offers lower monthly payment

• You benefit from the credit without filing it on your tax return

• Systems must use non-FEOC (Foreign Entity of Concern) equipment to qualify

Example: A $42,000 14 kW multifamily system can drop to ~$29,400 equivalent through tax equity pricing — same savings as the old ITC, just structured differently.
