Solar Industry Faces 2025 Tax Credit Rollback Impacting Nationwide Residential, Commercial Markets
President Trump's new tax and spending legislation, known as the Big Beautiful Bill, is significantly impacting the solar industry by eliminating the 30 percent federal tax credit for commercial projects starting in 2025, with immediate effects on residential solar installations as well. To qualify for the current tax credit, projects must begin construction before the end of 2024, with phased requirements and deadlines extending into 2027 for later starts. This has created urgency for homeowners and businesses, such as in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, where residents are encouraged to sign contracts promptly to benefit from the tax credit and additional local incentives. Despite these challenges, market leaders expect residential solar demand to rebound due to rising electricity rates. Additionally, regional initiatives like the Solar Together scheme in Wiltshire and Swindon continue to promote solar adoption through group-buying models that offer competitive pricing and vetted installers, helping residents access affordable solar solutions amid the changing federal landscape. Overall, the solar industry is navigating a critical transition period where early action is essential to maximize financial incentives before new rules take effect.
