Congress May End 30% Solar Tax Credit by December 2025: What It Means for You
A new proposal from the U.S. House of Representatives threatens to eliminate the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (commonly known as the solar tax credit) by December 31, 2025—nearly a decade earlier than planned. This credit currently allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of a solar installation from their federal taxes. The proposed legislation, part of the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” aims to terminate Section 25D of the U.S. Tax Code, effectively ending the residential solar tax credit at the end of this year.
