Today– as in the late 70’s and seemingly every decade in between – the path to energy independence is evolving. Yet for all this time, one thing remains constant: Solar PV is a remarkably clean, fiscally wise, and endlessly cool answer to local and global energy needs. As we look toward and prepare for the 2026 install season, we must take a moment to share our new sweet deals and some information on why solar is still a great investment.
Donny makes it look easy.
Solar Still Makes Sense
We’ve fielded a lot of questions lately about whether the math still adds up now that the residential tax credit has expired. The short answer? Yes. While the residential credit for purchased systems is gone, commercial solar federal tax credits remain robust for 2026. For our local business owners, the incentive to switch to clean energy is as strong as ever.
On the residential side, you may see a surge in "leased" solar offers claiming to still provide tax breaks. We urge our neighbors to tread carefully here. These deals often come wrapped in fine print, hidden fees, and a "vignette" of support that vanishes the moment the last bolt is tightened.
Nunatak believes in ownership and transparency. To help bridge the gap this year, we’re stepping up where the credits stepped back:
10% off regular PV system pricing when service agreements are signed before April 1st
5% off regular PV system pricing when service agreements are signed before May 31st
*the above deals are for fixed-cost grid-direct PV systems only - including fixed-cost battery backup!
50% off per module for Canadian Solar 395w panels- while our current stock lasts
