Thinking about solar but still on the fence? Many homeowners in California, Texas, and Arizona are in the same position, weighing the investment and timing. But here’s what many people overlook: not going solar now can cost you more than you think.
With the 30% federal solar tax credit set to expire at the end of 2025, hesitation could mean missing out on thousands of dollars in incentives, rising energy bills, and the chance to boost your home’s long-term value.
The 30% solar tax credit ends this year. Contact us now or call (888) 705-0535 to make sure you don’t miss out.
The 30% Tax Credit Will Soon Disappear
If you’re planning to own your solar system, either through an upfront purchase or financing, the 30% federal tax credit is still available. However, it is only available through December 31, 2025. After this year, homeowners who don’t act will lose access to this valuable incentive.
This expiration applies specifically to owned residential systems. Leased or commercial solar installations follow a different phase-out schedule, but the opportunity for homeowners to claim this benefit will end after this year.
Now is the time to act.
What It Could Cost to Wait
Delaying your solar installation can lead to more than just lost incentives. Here is what homeowners could face by putting off their decision:
- Missed Tax Credit Savings: Losing the 30% credit could mean paying thousands more out of pocket for the same system.
- Higher Utility Bills: Every month you wait, you stay locked into rising utility rates instead of generating your own clean energy.
- Longer Wait Times: As the deadline approaches, demand for solar will increase. Local permitting and utility approvals may cause installation delays.
- Reduced Home Value Benefits: Solar systems can increase property value and make homes more attractive to buyers. Waiting pushes that benefit further down the road.
- Lost Energy Independence: Going solar gives you more control over your home’s energy. Delaying means relying on the grid and market fluctuations longer.
