The Clock is Ticking: Why Now Is the Time To Go Solar
Big news in the energy world — and not the good kind. The 30% federal solar tax credit — one of the most powerful incentives for homeowners to go solar — is officially ending on December 31, 2025 under the newly passed “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
That means if you’ve been thinking about solar, it’s time to stop thinking and start acting.
What's Changing?
- Current incentive: 30% of your total solar installation cost can be claimed as a credit on your federal taxes.
- Deadline: System must be installed and operational by Dec. 31, 2025 to qualify.
- After 2025: The credit disappears entirely for residential systems — meaning you’ll pay full price.
How Much can you save?
Let’s break it down:
- Average residential solar system cost: $25,000–$30,000
- 30% tax credit = $7,500–$9,000 back in your pocket
- Combine with state or utility rebates, and your total savings could easily exceed $10,000
That’s money you can use for… well, anything other than your electric bill.
Why go solar now?
- Beat the rush: As the deadline approaches, installers will book up fast. Waiting could mean missing the cut-off.
- Lock in lower costs: Equipment and labor prices are likely to rise as demand spikes.
- Energy independence: Protect yourself from rising utility rates and unpredictable outages.
- Increase home value: Studies show solar can boost resale value by 4% or more.
The cost of waiting
If you wait until 2026, you’ll lose:
- $7K–$9K in federal savings
- The ability to offset rising electricity costs immediately
- The chance to combine federal, state, and local incentives for maximum benefit
The bottom line
This isn’t just about going green — it’s about making a smart financial move before the window slams shut. Every month you delay is another month of paying your utility company instead of investing in your own energy future.
Act now, install before the deadline, and keep thousands of dollars in your pocket.
