The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Just Passed. Here’s What It Means for the 30% Residential Solar Tax Credit…Why Homeowners Must Act Now!

On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Senate passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a major piece of President Trump’s policy agenda. While the bill spans a wide range of topics, one of its most serious effects is the expected phase-out of the 30% federal residential solar tax credit, also known as Section 25D.

For years, this solar tax credit has helped homeowners reduce the cost of solar panel installation by covering up to 30% of total system costs.  It has been a major driver of clean energy adoption nationwide. But now, that benefit is at risk.

News reports from BBC News, CNN, and Politico, a respected outlet specializing in political and policy reporting explain how the bill rolls back clean energy tax incentives. In its analysis, Politico notes that the Senate version “phases out clean energy tax credits more gradually,” but still marks a clear retreat from support for residential solar and wind. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that the legislation “dismantles climate law passed by Democrats,” including the key solar credit that has helped drive U.S. solar installations for more than a decade.

The full text, listed as H.R. 1 on Congress.gov, confirms the Senate passed this bill on July 1, 2025.

What This Means for Homeowners

If you’ve been thinking about switching to solar, this could be your last real chance to make the most of current federal support. Waiting too long could cost you thousands in lost incentives and leave you vulnerable to long-term utility rate hikes.

Here’s what’s at stake:

• Loss of the 30% federal solar tax credit after 2025. Homeowners who don’t act this year will lose out on a 30% net reduction in their investment in Solar.
• Rising utility bills with no relief in sight. Energy rates are climbing steadily across the U.S., and without solar, households remain vulnerable to future spikes.  In fact, with the passing of this bill, utility bills are expected to increase dramatically, as the supply of power will be reduced at a time when demand is skyrocketing!
• Fewer pathways to energy independence. Solar provides homeowners the ability to produce their own power and reduce reliance on aging and fragile energy infrastructure.  Many homeowners have come to the realization that they relinquish control of the electricity that powers their most important asset – their home.  Homeowners want to stop renting their power – they want to OWN their power!

The current policy shift makes it clear that solar incentives will not remain at their current levels for long. Those who act now can still secure the full 30% federal tax credit before changes take effect.
