Go Solar in 2025 Before the 30% Tax Credit Disappears and PA Electric Rates Skyrocket

On July 1, 2025, the Senate passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which terminates the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (Section 25D) in 2025

🔥 What the New Law Means for Homeowners

Effective immediately, the legislation:


✅ Ends the 30% federal solar tax credit after December 31, 2025 (This includes battery backup too)

💸 Why This Matters for Pennsylvania Residents

This isn’t just tax policy — it’s about your energy security and financial future.

➡️ Starting June 1, 2025, your Peco bill already jumped by another 10%

➡️ Without the 30% credit, solar becomes significantly more expensive

But there’s still time to lock in your savings — if you act now.

🏡 PA Solar Incentives Still Available in 2025

30% Federal Tax Credit (until 12/31/25)

✅ SREC for 15 years

✅ 1:1 Retail Net Metering (get full credit for extra solar)

⏳ Time Is Running Out

Permitting backlogs, utility delays, and high demand mean that December 31, 2025 will come faster than you think. Once the credit is gone, it’s gone — and PA families could be left paying thousands more for the same system in 2026.
