Does metal roofing qualify for a tax credit in 2025?

Not by itself. The previous $500 tax credit for reflective metal roofs expired in 2021. As of 2025, metal roofing is not eligible for a standalone federal credit—but it may qualify if installed as part of a solar system.

Can I claim a tax credit if I install solar panels with my metal roof?

Yes. If your metal roof is part of a solar installation and supports the solar system, a portion of the roofing cost may be eligible under the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit, available through December 31, 2025.

What form do I need to claim energy tax credits?

Use IRS Form 5695 to claim both the Residential Clean Energy Credit and the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. You’ll include totals on Schedule 3 and Form 1040 when filing your taxes.

Do Oregon or Washington offer state incentives for roofing?

Not directly. However, both states offer valuable solar incentives that pair well with metal roofing: Washington offers a sales tax exemption on solar through 2029, and Oregon provides a Solar + Storage Rebate of up to $5,000 for eligible homeowners.

What’s the best way to know if my project qualifies?

Always consult a licensed tax professional. Eligibility depends on your home, your tax situation, and whether your roof is part of a qualifying energy system—especially when combining solar with metal roofing.
