Are InSoFast Panels elligable for this tax credit https://clean.energy.nm.gov/insulation-and-air-sealing-incentives/

InSoFast continuous insulation panels generally meet technical eligibility for state and federal insulation tax incentives by providing code-compliant R-values and continuous air sealing for residential building envelopes.

Energy conservation rebate programs and tax incentives target residential building envelope retrofits to reduce thermal bridging and heating-cooling loads. Under modern efficiency frameworks—including state-level clean energy programs and the federal Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit updated in 2023—homeowners can offset material expenses for qualifying envelope upgrades.

If you only do one thing: Verify that the project qualifies as an existing residential building envelope retrofit and retain product specification sheets with itemized material receipts for documentation.

• Federal 25C alignment: Under the federal 25C tax credit, qualifying insulation and air-sealing materials allow homeowners to claim 30% of product costs up to an annual maximum of $1,200.
• Continuous insulation standard: InSoFast expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels provide continuous insulation that prevents thermal bridging across framing studs, satisfying prescriptive International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) wall criteria.
• Air sealing performance: Interlocking tongue-and-groove panel edges form a built-in air barrier when sealed at terminations and penetrations with expanding foam, meeting envelope air-leakage guidelines.
• R-value specifications: Products such as InSoFast UX 2.0 (continuous R-8.5) and EX 2.5 (continuous R-10.5) provide the thermal resistance values required for baseline basement and exterior wall retrofit compliance across North American climate zones.
• State incentive integration: State clean energy programs, including New Mexico clean energy initiatives and regional utility programs, typically tie material eligibility to IECC standards or ENERGY STAR building envelope requirements.

• Watch out for: Labor costs cannot be claimed under federal Section 25C DIY homeowner tax credits; only the direct purchase cost of panels, adhesives, and sealant materials qualifies.
• Watch out for: New construction projects and secondary commercial properties are excluded from primary residence homeowner incentive credits under standard federal rules.
• Watch out for: Applying without manufacturer product performance data sheets or itemized receipts, which are required for state rebate processing and tax filing verification.
