Protect Home Energy Tax Credits
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is under threat right now. See how it could affect you—and what you can do to save it.
American energy needs your help.
Made-in-America solar and storage creates jobs, drives investment, and powers millions of households with affordable energy. But the current reconciliation bill would strip away ITC tax credits, driving up prices, and crippling domestic manufacturing.
Home solar and storage keeps energy affordable.
Without the ITC, American families will face $51 billion in energy inflation by 2035 and put America’s energy future on the line.
We need more energy today, not less.
Energy demand is growing faster than ever. Home solar and battery storage offer a fast, local solution—built right here where we need more power to cut our dependence on foreign energy and fuel innovation.
Solar energy is American energy.
The House reconciliation bill puts over 300,000 American jobs and more than 300 manufacturing facilities at risk.

FAQs
What is the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)?
The ITC is a federal tax credit that allows homeowners and businesses to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar and storage energy system from their federal taxes to help meet American energy needs. It has been a significant driver of solar adoption in the United States, was extended under the past Trump administration, and has had bipartisan support for decades.
What is the current status of the ITC solar tax credit in 2025?
As of May 2025, the House of Representatives passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act", also known as the 2025 reconciliation bill, which proposes immediately eliminating the 30% residential solar and storage tax credit for third-party financed systems. The bill is now under consideration in the Senate, where its provisions may be modified or rejected.
How does the 2025 reconciliation bill affect the solar industry?
The bill aims to roll back long-standing energy tax credits including the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC). While expanded under the Inflation Reduction Act, these tax credits have allowed families and businesses to invest in American clean energy. The reconciliation bill would immediately pull the rug out from under home solar and storage tax credits, significantly harming the solar industry by reducing support for essential residential and commercial energy generation.
Will existing solar installations still qualify for tax credits?
Projects installed and placed in service by December 31, 2025, are expected to remain eligible for the tax credit. However, projects completed after this date may not qualify if the proposed legislation becomes law. And the Senate is still debating the bill, so it is imperative they hear from you today.
How does the proposed legislation impact third-party financed solar systems?
The reconciliation bill immediately eliminates the ability for homeowners who want to install solar and storage through third-party financed solutions to be eligible for the tax credit under Section 48E. This will affect financing options for homeowners.
The bill would deny the ability for companies to offer solar and storage financing arrangements under the section 48E credit. This tax credit has delivered energy savings to working families, and more than two-thirds of households that installed solar with this credit in 2023 earned less than $150,000 a year.
What should homeowners do in response to the proposed changes?
They should also take action and call their U.S. Senators and their U.S. House Representative and express their concerns with the proposed bill. For homeowners considering solar and storage, you may want to get started right away to ensure completion before the potential expiration of the tax credit at the end of 2025.
Are there any other incentives for solar energy besides the federal tax credit?
Yes, some states and local governments offer additional incentives for solar energy installations. It's advisable to check with local authorities or consult with a solar energy provider for more information.
