Lock in the Federal Solar Tax Credit Before It’s Gone
The 30% Solar Tax Credit Is Expiring. The Best Time to Go Solar Is Now.
A new federal law is ending the 30% federal solar tax credit on Dec. 31, 2025, for residential homeowners. Businesses and farmers also face new critical deadlines to get their projects online over the next 2-4 years.
That means there has never been a better time to go solar than now.

What You Need To Know About the Expiring Solar Tax Credits:
For Residential Homeowners:
- Residential Tax Credits will end Dec. 31 of 2025.
- Your system must be installed and “placed in service” by this deadline to qualify.
- IMPORTANT: Due to the tight timeline, 1 Source Solar is currently booked for all new residential projects that could be guaranteed for completion before the end of 2025. Please contact us to talk more about other tax incentives your project may qualify for, or to secure a spot for 2026.
For Commercial Businesses, Ag Producers & Non-Tax-Paying Entities:
- Projects started between now and July 4, 2026, must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2029.
- Projects started AFTER that date must be placed in service two years sooner — by Dec. 31, 2027.
- TAKE ACTION: Early planning is key to meet these deadlines. Contact us to plan your project now.
Understanding the New Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) Guidelines:
- Any solar project that begins construction after Dec. 31, 2025, will also be subject to new Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) provisions. These provisions will place tighter restrictions on materials sourced from certain countries. These will likely cause supply chain issues and increased component cost.
- Projects that begin after July 3, 2026, will be subject to even stricter FEOC provisions, causing additional supply chain and component cost issues.
The Financial Impact: Understanding the 30% Solar Tax Credit
Recent federal legislation, signed July 4, 2025, is ending the federal solar tax credit for solar energy projects over the next 4 years.
While there are other incentives available for installing solar, the federal tax credit is the largest and most impactful for homeowners, businesses, farmers, and others. It provides a dollar-for-dollar credit of 30% of the cost of the following from taxes:
- New solar panel systems
- Energy storage devices
- Installation expenses
For a homeowner with a $30,000 residential solar system, missing the December 31, 2025, deadline would mean losing $9,000 in tax credits. That’s a direct, significant increase in your net cost.
