What Is the Federal Solar Tax Credit?
The Federal Solar Tax Credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal income taxes.
That means if your solar project costs $25,000, you could get $7,500 back on your tax return.
✅ What’s Covered?
- Solar panels and hardware
- Labor and installation
- Electrical upgrades needed for install
- Battery storage (if installed at the same time)
- Roofing work (if it’s directly related to solar)
📅 Why 2025 Is So Important
The current 30% credit is set to expire for homeowners on December 31, 2025.
To qualify, your system must be:
- Fully installed
- Operational
- Generating power by that date
Just signing a contract or placing a deposit is not enough. Permits, inspections, and grid connections take time—sometimes several months—so delaying into fall or winter 2025 could mean missing the credit entirely.
📉 What Happens After It Expires?
Unless Congress takes action:
- The 30% tax credit goes away for residential installs in 2026
- Homeowners will miss out on thousands in savings
- The return on investment for solar becomes longer
