Nebraska Solar Incentives
The Cornhusker State has solar incentives and initiatives designed to make green technologies more accessible and affordable, including:
Nebraska Solar Net Metering
Nebraska's net metering policy allows customers who generate their own electricity from renewable sources like solar to send excess electricity back to the grid and receive a credit on their utility bill for the surplus. This amount may vary based on the time of year.
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit
If you own your Nebraska solar and/or battery storage system, you could be eligible to claim up to 30% of your installed system’s cost on your federal taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since your home’s solar system will be tied to your Nebraska electric provider (grid-tied), if you don’t have a battery storage system, your solar will not work during a power outage. You won’t be able to make or use solar energy while the grid is down. To have electricity during a Nebraska power outage, you’ll need a solar + battery storage system.*
Solar panels are extremely durable and built to withstand the elements. While your system won’t typically need regular maintenance, your responsibilities will include:
- Trim any trees around your system that may block the sun from reaching your solar panels.
- Check that there’s no accumulation of leaves, debris, snow or critters under the solar panels.
- Depending on where you are in Nebraska, you may need to spray your solar panels with a garden hose to wash off built-up dust and dirt. You can do this while standing on the ground – we strongly advise against you climbing on your roof for any reason.
Yes, when you first fill out your application, Sunnova will perform a soft credit check to help verify your identity and determine your eligibility for a Nebraska solar energy plan. This soft inquiry won’t impact your credit score. However, if you’re applying for a solar loan, your soft inquiry will convert to a hard inquiry within 30 days of the sale.
You can monitor your Nebraska solar panel production in your MySunnova customer portal. Keep in mind that your production data is delayed approximately 24 hours. In addition, as part of your Sunnova solar energy plan, we’ll proactively monitor your system 24/7 and alert you to any issues as necessary.
