Legislation in Congress is pushing for an early expiration of the 30% Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, a powerful incentive for homeowners installing solar and battery systems.
What’s Changing?
The Senate is working on a proposal that would phase out solar incentives much sooner, with a complete elimination of the credit by 2028, accelerating this phase-out significantly. Meanwhile, the House version would end the incentive entirely after December 31, 2025.
Why It Matters Now
Under current law, homeowners who install solar and battery systems before January 1, 2026 would still receive the full 30% tax credit . But once the credit expires, this incentive may no longer be available.
If you have been considering a residential solar system, now is the time to act. With down-to-the-wire timelines, processing times, and rising demand, ensuring your system is fully operational before the deadline is essential to secure the full credit.
The 30% federal solar tax credit is facing an uncertain future. To maximize your savings and avoid losing out on this major benefit, make sure your solar system is installed and fully active by December 31, 2025.
