Don’t Miss the 2025 Solar Tax Credit in California

The U.S. solar industry is entering one of its most pivotal years yet. At the RE+ 2025 conference, industry leaders highlighted both the opportunities and challenges facing solar, with new policies tightening deadlines for tax credits and adding more supply chain rules.

For California homeowners, this isn’t just industry news — it directly affects your energy bills, your incentives, and how quickly you should move on installing solar.

At US Power – Axia by Qcells, we help Southern California families navigate these changes while locking in the best savings possible. Here’s what you need to know in 2025.

The New Policy Landscape for Solar

Recent updates from Washington, particularly the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” (OBBB), have reshaped how federal incentives work:

• Deadlines for Tax Credits: Projects must start construction by July 4, 2026, or be operational by the end of 2027, to qualify for certain federal tax credits.
• Domestic Content Requirements: To unlock additional credit adders, more projects must prove U.S.-made materials were used.
• Supply Chain Transparency: Installers now face stricter reporting rules to trace where panels and components come from.
• Foreign Entity Restrictions (FEOC): Materials from certain foreign entities may disqualify a project from incentives.

In short, the rules are more complex — but the opportunity to save thousands is still very real.

Why This Matters for California Homeowners

1. Incentives Won’t Wait

If your solar or battery project isn’t started in time, you may lose eligibility for the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit or additional credits. Acting quickly ensures you don’t miss out.

2. U.S.-Made Panels Give You the Edge

Because domestic content is rewarded, choosing American-made Qcells panels helps you maximize your financial benefits while supporting American jobs.

3. Partnering with the Right Installer Is Key

Navigating tax credits, supply chain documentation, and qualification deadlines is complicated. Working with a trusted local installer like US Power ensures your system is compliant and eligible.

4. California Rates Make Solar + Storage Essential

With high electricity rates and time-of-use pricing, Californians gain the most by pairing solar with a home battery. This lets you store energy for evening use and during outages, maximizing both savings and security.

5. The Countdown Has Already Started

Every month you delay could mean smaller incentives or higher costs. With deadlines already locked in, the smartest move is to start your project in 2025.
