delawareevtaxcredit.com is an independent reference for the EV and solar incentives available to Delaware residents — the Clean Vehicle Rebate, the EV charger rebates, the Green Energy Program solar grant, net metering and SRECs, and what's left of the federal EV and solar tax credits now that both have expired. It exists because this particular subject changed abruptly in 2025 and 2026 — two federal credits ended with no phase-out, a state vehicle rebate rolled into a new annual cycle with different dealer and mail-in mechanics, and a solar rebate rate changed — and a lot of what shows up in a search still describes the old rules. An article written in early 2025 that says "30% off solar" or "$7,500 EV credit" without a date attached is describing a program that, as of this review, no longer exists for a new purchase.
One incentive stack, four different agencies
The hard part about Delaware's EV and solar incentives isn't that they're small — it's that they aren't one program. DNREC alone runs three of them, each with its own eligibility rules: the Clean Vehicle Rebate (whose applications are actually processed through Drive Electric Delaware, not DNREC itself), a $2,000,000 EV charger rebate pool that explicitly excludes single-family homeowners, and the Green Energy Program solar rebate that only pays customers of Delmarva Power. A homeowner who wants help paying for their own charger has to look past DNREC's program entirely to a separate one run by Energize Delaware, which also runs its own solar and efficiency financing on its own terms. Underneath all of that, two federal credits from the IRS applied on top of whichever Delaware program you used — until both were cut off in 2025, with no phase-out. This site's whole reason for existing is to pull those four rulebooks apart onto one page each, because the single easiest way to misjudge what you'll get is to read one agency's page and assume it covers a situation only a different agency's program actually does — a homeowner reading DNREC's charger rebate page and missing the line that excludes single-family homes, for instance, or an old article that quotes a 30% federal solar credit that no longer applies to anyone who owns their system.
What this site is, and what it deliberately isn't
One person writes and maintains this site, independently of the four organizations named above — DNREC, Drive Electric Delaware, Energize Delaware, and the IRS. It is also not a law firm, accounting firm, or licensed solar or EV installer — see the full disclaimer. None of those four wrote, reviewed, or endorsed anything here. Ads served through Google AdSense pay for hosting and for the time spent tracking which of the four rulebooks above changed this month; that's the entire business model. No program, agency, or installer has paid to be listed, ranked favorably, or left out.
Every figure is traceable to one of those four sources
Because four different organizations set these numbers, this site treats "which agency said this" as part of the fact, not a footnote. A rebate amount, an income or price cap, a funding pool total, a net metering percentage, a loan rate — each is meant to trace back to the specific DNREC page, Drive Electric Delaware page, Energize Delaware page, IRS notice, or section of Delaware Code that actually set it. Every substantive page ends with a Sources list naming and linking the exact document a figure came from, so you can check it against the agency that owns the number rather than take this site's word for it. Where an agency's material is ambiguous, silent, or we simply couldn't confirm something against a primary source — a property tax question on the home page, a funding balance on the Green Energy Program page — this site says so directly rather than filling in a plausible-sounding figure.
This is a static, hand-updated site, not a live feed from any agency's systems. Rebate cycles reset annually, solar incentive rates get revised, and funding pools run down without a public counter. A page here is only as current as the review date shown near its title and in its footer. Before you rely on a figure for something that matters — a purchase, an installation contract, an application deadline — verify it against whichever agency's document is linked on that page.
Found a rulebook we got wrong? Say so
If something here is wrong, out of date, or attributed to the wrong agency, say so — see Contact for how to reach this site directly. A report of a wrong figure, a moved government link, or a program that's changed which agency administers it is the single most useful thing a reader can send, and it gets checked against that agency's own source before anything is corrected.
