Don’t Wait: The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit May Soon Be Gone
If passed as written, the new budget proposal in Congress will end the 30% federal solar tax credit (ITC) this year. Since its creation in 2005, this incentive has helped millions go solar by covering nearly a third of system costs through federal tax savings..
If you’ve been thinking about solar or battery storage, now is the time to lock in this lucrative incentive before it’s too late.
What Is the 30% Solar Tax Credit—and Why It Matters
The federal ITC allows you to deduct 30% of the total cost of your solar panel system, solar + battery setup, or stand alone battery from your federal taxes. The funding bill passed by the House and currently in Senate review will eliminate the 30% tax credit at the end of 2025, with no step-down period. To qualify, homeowners must have their systems fully installed and commissioned by December 31, 2025—making early action essential.
Solar installation isn’t instant. Between consultations, system design, permits, and scheduling, getting your system installed and qualified for the tax credit takes time. As the deadline nears, high demand will pack installation schedules and slow permitting turnaround. The sooner you start, the better.
Waiting could mean:
- Missing the deadline for the full 30% tax credit
- Paying more for the same system next year
- Losing the chance to apply the credit to a battery add-on to existing solar
- Delaying your path to energy independence and long-term savings
Now is the best time to move forward and maximize your financial return.
Here’s What You Can Do Right Now
You don’t need to make a decision today—but you do need to get started.
Step 1: Schedule a Free Consultation
We’ll evaluate your energy usage, your property, and your financial goals to recommend the best solar or battery solution for you.
Step 2: Get a Custom Quote
Our team will design a system tailored to your home or business and estimate your savings with the 30% tax credit still in place.
Step 3: Start the Process Early
Once you approve the plan, we’ll handle permits, paperwork, and installation—all before the policy deadline closes the window on your full savings.
Take Control of Your Energy Future
The 30% solar tax credit won’t last forever. And if the new legislation passes, your window to claim it could close much sooner than expected.
By acting now, you can lock in thousands in savings, boost your property’s value, and reduce your reliance on rising utility rates.
Not Going Solar Yet? You Can Still Help Save the Tax Credit
Even if you’re not ready to go solar, you can still make a big impact. Lawmakers need to hear that solar matters—to homeowners, to local jobs, and to a sustainable future. Add your voice and help protect the 30% federal solar tax credit before it’s too late.
Why This Matters:
American Jobs:
Clean energy jobs are booming—growing twice as fast as the broader energy sector. Since the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022, Arizona has added or advanced over 18,700 clean energy jobs (Sources: AZMirro.com, Climatepower.us). Nationally, solar jobs grew 5.3% in 2024 alone. (Source: PV Magazine). Rolling back federal incentives could put these jobs—and future growth—at risk.
American Manufacturing:
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) warns that the bill could jeopardize nearly 300 U.S.-based solar and storage factories and lead to the loss of 145,000 GWh of solar generation by 2030, threatening jobs, manufacturing growth, and the nation's ability to meet rising energy demands.

Free Market Competition:
In most regions, solar is the only real alternative to utility power. It brings free-market competition to utility monopolies, helps families save money, while also supporting growing municipal energy needs. Without the tax credit, household energy bills could rise by $290 by 2035. (Source: Rhodium Group)
Local Economies:
The Inflation Reduction Act has sparked over $126 billion in clean energy investments and created more than 109,000 jobs. Nearly 60% of announced projects—accounting for 85% of investment and 68% of jobs—are in Republican congressional districts. In Arizona, eight major projects are expected to create over 18,700 jobs and generate $1.4 billion in new tax revenue. (Source: E2)
Energy Demand and Capacity:
Solar and storage technologies are adding new electricity-generating capacity faster than any other source—accounting for 66% of new capacity in 2024 alone (Source: Solar Energy Industry Association). With skyrocketing energy demand driven by AI, EV adoption, data centers, and rapid population growth—especially in states like Arizona and fast-growing Maricopa County—expanding clean energy capacity is more critical than ever.
Future Economic Growth:
Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act could stifle U.S. economic growth, potentially reducing power sector investment by $250 billion, GDP by $510 billion, and household consumption by $270 billion, while risking our leadership in powering critical AI infrastructure. (Source: ConservAmerica)
