If you’ve ever thought about adding solar panels to your home, 2025 is a year you can’t afford to ignore. The 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) — one of the biggest financial incentives for going solar — is set to expire on December 31, 2025.
Once the clock strikes midnight, that 30% savings disappears.
What is the 30% ITC?
The Solar Investment Tax Credit is a federal program that lets you deduct 30% of your solar installation cost from your federal taxes. For many homeowners, that’s thousands of dollars in savings.
Example:
- Total system cost: $20,000
- 30% ITC: $6,000 tax credit
- Your net cost: $14,000
And that’s before any additional rebates or incentives you might qualify for.
What Happens When It Ends?
When the ITC expires:
- The federal tax credit drops to 0% for residential solar.
- You’ll pay the full system cost without federal help.
- Demand for solar will likely spike in late 2025, meaning longer wait times and possible price increases.
In short: waiting could cost you thousands.
Why Act Now?
- Lock in Your 30% Credit – Any solar system installed and operational before December 31, 2025 qualifies.
- Avoid the Year-End Rush – Installers will book up quickly as the deadline approaches.
- Start Saving Sooner – Every month without solar is another month of paying full price for electricity.
