Statewide electricity generation data for the 12 months ended April 2025 confirms a historic milestone: solar energy outpaced natural gas, delivering 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) compared to gas’s 81.6 TWh—making solar the “largest single contributor” with 33.9% of total power, slightly above gas at 33.3%.
But this remarkable achievement masks emerging risks—expiring incentives, NEM policy shifts, and mounting grid pressure are converging to redefine the economics of residential solar. And the best way to lock in benefits? US Power—your locally rooted partner—can make it happen smoothly and promptly.
In April 2025 alone, renewables met up to 158% of California’s peak power demand, aided by over 15.7 GW of battery storage, which helps shift solar energy into evening hours. Nationally, solar achieved 10.6% of U.S. electricity in April, while California contributed nearly 42% of its power from solar at peak. This surge is crucial—but without urgent homeowner action, it won’t last.
The 30% Federal Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit expires at the end of this year. That’s thousands of dollars in savings—gone for good.
Afterward:
US Power can lock in this credit for you today—before the deadline.
While investor-owned utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) moved to NEM 3.0—cutting export credits by ~75%—LADWP remains under NEM 2.0, granting full retail credit for solar power sent to the grid—and those credits never expire. That makes being on LADWP your best defense—but this favorable treatment may not last forever. You need to act fast.
Here’s why every homeowner should choose US Power:
When delays or policy changes happen, only a local company like US Power can deliver fast, clear, and lasting results.
Risk | Impact |
---|---|
Tax Credit Ends Dec 31, 2025 | Lose 30% savings—now or never |
NEM Policy Shifts Loom | Export credit dropped elsewhere—LADWP may follow |
Rising Utility Rates | Higher bills, less offset by solar |
Grid Overload & Curtailment | More blackout risk, wasted excess solar |
Installation Delays | Equipment bottlenecks in final incentive rush |
California’s solar moment is here—but it’s fleeting. With incentives expiring and policy environments shifting, delaying solar means paying more, saving less, and risking grid reliability.
