The Solar Tax Credit Is Ending: What That Means for Homeowners
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Renewable energy adds about 90% of new U.S. electricity capacity despite federal incentives ending and regulatory rollbacks under the Trump administration this year.
- Last Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed the 'big beautiful' bill, eliminating hundreds of billions in clean energy incentives and shifting policy toward fossil fuels.
- By scrapping auto and power sector emissions rules, the administration led to legislative rollback, aiming to revert the energy economy to fossil fuels.
- Despite policy rollbacks, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission data show solar comprised 78 percent of new capacity in the first four months of this year, demonstrating continued growth, FERC.
- Most reviews of the July 4 budget bill indicate the legislation could raise energy costs for consumers, and independent analyses warn it may hit their pocketbooks.
- FERC projects about 90 gigawatts of new solar and 19 gigawatts of gas-fired power over the next three years, compared to previous projections.
