Your utility's rules

Many homes in the Chattanooga area are served by EPB (a TVA distributor). Confirm which rules apply to your account before you sign.

TVA updates these prices to track its projected avoided cost. Source: https://energyright.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/September-2026-DPP-Guidelines-for-Publish.pdf (accessed 2026-10-20)

A note on the federal tax credit

The federal residential clean energy credit (25D) doesn't apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS treats an expenditure as made when installation is completed.
