Solar Industry Bracing for Impact of Rescinded Tax Credits
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – President Trump's law ends federal solar tax credits by 2025, impacting over 1.2 million taxpayers who claimed $6.3 billion in credits in 2023, accelerating cost increases for solar installations.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One, Big Beautiful Bill, which eliminated the solar tax credit for homeowners installing panels.
- As part of his climate rollback, Trump revoked California’s vehicle emissions waivers on June 12, 2025, the background to broader policy shifts undermining clean energy support.
- On July 15, Enverus Intelligence Research found only 30% of U.S. solar projects and 57% of onshore wind are expected to survive under the OBBB, with Wood Mackenzie projecting a 17% decline in solar installations to 375 GWac over 10 years.
- Following the credit’s end, `Ari Matusiak, CEO of Rewiring America`, warns of a 'hurry-up-and-buy' dynamic that will raise costs for homeowners by $8,316 on average.
- In response to the rollback, Tom Bitting notes that decades-long momentum endures, and development is projected to shift to states with strong renewable mandates like Arizona and Ohio.
