Tax Credit

Don’t Miss Your Final Chance To Claim the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit

The 30% federal solar tax credit expires December 31—but you may need to act sooner than you think.

What homeowners need to know:

  • Installers are booking up fast
  • Equipment is harder to source due to shortages
  • Permitting and utility approvals are getting delayed
  • Project timelines will only grow longer as the December 31 deadline approaches

If you don’t begin your project by September, you risk missing the deadline and losing thousands of dollars.

What Waiting Will Actually Cost You

Let’s make this real:

  • The average homeowner in California saves $8,300 with the 30% federal tax credit.
    Without it, the cost of your system increases by nearly one-third!
  • Your payback period stretches from 6-7 years to 10 years or more
  • Without solar, your home stays vulnerable to skyrocketing utility rates and blackouts

This is not a drill. The deadline isn’t getting extended.

The credit was supposed to be available until 2032, but under the new law signed in July 2025, it’ll be gone in just months.

Important Note for Business Owners:

You still qualify for the 30% commercial solar credit through December 31, 2027, if you begin construction by July 4, 2026. We’re ready to help you plan a high-ROI project.
