Don’t Let Congress Eliminate the 30% Solar Tax Credit: Act Now with Good Energy Solutions

If you’ve been considering solar energy for your home, now is the time to act. Recent legislative developments threaten to end the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (commonly known as the solar tax credit) by December 31, 2025—years earlier than previously planned.

At Good Energy Solutions, we’ve dedicated years to helping homeowners across Kansas and Missouri harness the power of solar energy—saving money, increasing home value, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The potential elimination of this tax credit could have significant economic impacts on families, small businesses, and the clean energy workforce.

What Is the Solar Tax Credit?

The Residential Clean Energy Credit allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of a solar energy system—including equipment, labor, permitting, and batteries—from their federal taxes. For example, a $30,000 residential solar installation would qualify the homeowner for a $9,000 tax credit, reducing the net cost to $21,000.

What’s Changing?

In May 2025, the House of Representatives passed a budget reconciliation bill proposing to terminate the 30% residential solar tax credit at the end of this year. The bill is now under consideration in the Senate, with a final vote expected before the August recess.

Potential Impacts of Eliminating the Tax Credit

• Increased Costs for Homeowners: Without the tax credit, the upfront cost of solar installations would rise by 30%, making solar less accessible for many families.

• Economic Ripple Effects: The solar industry could face significant setbacks, potentially leading to job losses and reduced operations for small businesses.

• Slowed Progress Toward Sustainability: Eliminating the tax credit could hinder efforts toward energy independence and environmental sustainability.
