2025—Your Last Chance to Claim the Solar Tax Credit

If you’re considering solar panels or other renewable energy upgrades, 2025 is your last chance to take full advantage of the 30 percent Residential Clean Energy Credit (RCEC).

What Is the RCEC?

The RCEC is a federal, non-refundable tax credit equal to 30 percent of the cost of qualified clean energy systems, including:

  • Solar electric panels
  • Solar water heaters
  • Geothermal heat pumps
  • Small wind energy systems

Eligible properties include primary and secondary residences, as well as rentals occupied by the taxpayer. Landlords who do not reside in the property are not eligible.

What Changed?

The RCEC expiration date is now December 31, 2025, thanks to the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Act Now

Installation takes time. From selecting a system to full installation and inspection, the entire process can span months. To qualify for the credit, you must place your system in service by December 31, 2025.

Although the RCEC is non-refundable, unused credits can carry forward to future tax years.
