Save Money with Solar Incentives in 2025
Solar power is now the most affordable source of electricity worldwide, thanks to a dramatic drop in costs over the last decade. Still, the upfront cost of installing solar panels can feel out of reach for many homeowners and businesses. That’s where solar incentives come in, and at Renewables Worldwide, we’re here to help you take advantage of them.
Here’s an overview of the solar incentives available in 2025, and how you can use them to save.
Federal Solar Tax Credit
The federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) remains one of the best ways to save. In 2025, you can deduct 30% of your total solar installation costs—including batteries—from your federal taxes. This applies to both residential and commercial systems.
However, time is limited. The residential ITC expires at the end of 2025. If you’re thinking about going solar at home, your system must be installed and operational by December 31, 2025, to qualify.
Commercial projects have more time. As long as installation begins by July 4, 2026, or is completed by December 31, 2027, businesses can still claim the credit. Plus, commercial systems may qualify for additional tax credits based on where they’re built or how they benefit local communities. Nonprofits can also benefit through a Direct Pay option, receiving the credit as a refund, even without tax liability.
State and Local Programs
Many states offer extra incentives, such as cash rebates, low-interest loans, or property tax exemptions. For example, Massachusetts and New York continue to support solar through local funding, permit fee reductions, and energy credit programs.
Community Solar
Don’t own a home? Not a problem. Community solar allows individuals and businesses to subscribe to a local solar farm and receive credits on their utility bills. No panels required. It’s an excellent option for renters, apartment dwellers, or anyone unable to install rooftop systems. As of 2025, 44 states have active community solar programs, with participation growing rapidly across the country.
