Kin Home review: a tax-credit promise that is out of date.

Kin Home sells solar in up to 10 states and holds an A+ BBB grade. But its FAQ still says buyers may get a 30% tax credit, and we found no warranty page. Here is what to check before you sign.

Short answer

Be careful. Kin Home scores 56 out of 100 on public records, tied for our lowest score. It has an A+ BBB grade and no lawsuits over its sales. But its FAQ still says buyers may get a 30% tax credit that ended in 2025, and we found no warranty page or posted prices. Slow service leads its complaints.

01 · The tax credit

An out-of-date tax-credit promise

Kin Home’s FAQ says buying solar “may qualify you for up to a 30% tax credit.” For homeowners who buy, that credit ended on December 31, 2025.

The line is on its about page. A 2026 post on the same site says the credit ended, so the company contradicts itself. The FAQ line cost Kin Home 4 points for honest tax-credit claims.

It matters because complaints show the same problem. One buyer said a rep promised about a $12,000 tax credit and an early loan payoff. Neither came true. Use the checker below before you count on any credit.

03 · Complaints

76 complaints: slow service and door-to-door reps

Kin Home replied to every one of its 30 newest BBB complaints. Slow replies came up most.

16 of 30Newest complaints about slow or no reply, February 2025 to August 2026.

One owner said panels stopped working in mid-2025, and weeks of calls, texts and emails brought no technician. Six complaints were about door-to-door reps who kept coming back to homes with no-soliciting signs. Eleven were about sales promises that did not hold.

Some company replies said only that it could not find the customer’s record. In one 2026 reply, Kin Home said it dropped a past install partner over quality. The BBB has raised no pattern alert, so the complaints cost no points.

05 · Warranty

No warranty page we could find

Kin Home’s website has no warranty page. We found no workmanship, roof-leak or production terms.

Its FAQ says a system “can be transferred easily” if you move, but it does not call that a warranty. Kin Home also sells roofing through a partner company and HVAC. Ask for every warranty in writing, with the number of years, before you sign.
