Countdown to 2025: What the End of the Solar Tax Credit Means for Homeowners

If you’ve been considering going solar, the clock is ticking.

Congress has confirmed that the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) will officially expire for residential homeowners on December 31, 2025. This credit currently allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes—a serious incentive that’s helped thousands of homeowners save big.

Here’s what you need to know before the sun sets on this opportunity:

🔆 Act Before December 2025 To claim the credit, your solar system must be installed and operational by the end of 2025.

💸 What You Can Still Save The 30% credit covers everything from panels and inverters to labor, permits, and even battery storage. For a $20,000 system, that’s a $6,000 federal tax break.

📉 What Happens After Unless Congress renews the credit, it drops to 0% for homeowners in 2026. This could make solar significantly more expensive, with longer payoff periods.

🏡 How It Affects Home Value Solar-equipped homes often sell faster and for more money. But without the credit, fewer buyers may be able to afford the upgrade. If you’re planning to sell in the next few years, installing solar now could be a smart move.

👑 Queen’s No-Nonsense Tip: Don’t wait until the end of 2025—supply shortages, installation delays, and weather can all push your project past the deadline. The earlier you start, the better.
