July 7, 2025

Over the 4th of July weekend, the President officially signed the "Big Beautiful Bill" into law, confirming that the 30% residential solar tax credit is phased out after 2025.

If you’re thinking about going solar, 2025 might be your last real chance to save big.

The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit—also known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC)—is on its way out. This critical incentive is already cut under a new federal budget law:

This is your one and only shot to lock in the full 30% federal solar tax credit. It’s already phased out, and you only have this year left to go solar. Act now to maximize your investment and avoid leaving thousands of dollars in potential savings on the table.

And here’s the kicker: you must have your system installed and running by December 31, 2025 to claim the full credit. Planning, permitting, and installation can take months—so waiting could cost you thousands in missed savings.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

  • Installers are already booking up fast due to increased demand.
  • The longer you wait, the more likely you'll miss the deadline.
  • With government support phased out, solar prices are expected to rise.

  • Bottom line: If you're serious about solar, the time to act is NOW. Waiting until late 2025 could be too late.

    LADWP Homeowners: Take Advantage of Full Net Energy Metering Before It Changes

    If you're a Los Angeles homeowner served by LADWP, you’re in an incredibly unique—and time-sensitive—position. LADWP still offers one of the most generous Net Energy Metering (NEM) programs in the country, but it won't last forever.

    Why LADWP’s NEM Is a Game-Changer

    Get full retail value for every extra kilowatt-hour your solar system exports.

  • Get full retail value for every extra kilowatt-hour your solar system exports.
  • Roll over unused credits forever—no expiration dates or loss of value.
  • No forced Time-of-Use billing and no battery requirement like other California utilities.
  • Offset your bill 1:1 — every kWh you send to the grid is one less you pay for later.

  • This means you’re not just saving money—you’re earning back full-value credits that slash your bill or eliminate it entirely.

    But here’s the warning: programs like this are phased out across California. LADWP hasn’t announced a deadline yet, but changes can happen with little notice. If you wait, you could get locked into a watered-down program.

    Double Your Benefits: Tax Credit + NEM = Maximum Solar Savings

    When you combine the 30% federal tax credit with LADWP’s full NEM, you’re looking at unmatched savings potential. For homeowners who go solar in 2025:

  • Save thousands up front through the federal tax credit.
  • Save thousands more over time with full-bill offset and rollover credits through LADWP.
  • No batteries or complex rate plans required.

  • This is the ultimate window of opportunity for Los Angeles homeowners. Once the federal credit drops and LADWP adjusts its NEM rules (as many utilities have), the economics of solar will shift dramatically.

    What You Need to Do RIGHT NOW

    Don’t wait and risk missing out. Here’s how to secure your savings before it’s too late:

    1. Schedule a site assessment with a trusted solar company experienced in LADWP projects.
    1. Get your system sized and quoted immediately—the best installers are already booking into late 2025.
    1. Start your LADWP interconnection process as soon as possible to get grandfathered into their current NEM rules.
    1. Get your paperwork ready for the 30% federal tax credit—available only if your system is fully installed and operational in 2025.
    1. Avoid decision paralysis. Waiting even a few more months could push your install into 2026 and cost you thousands.
