Congressional Threat to Solar Incentives: Why Now Is the Time to Go Solar in Colorado

If you’ve been considering solar for your home or business, the time to act may be now. Congressional leaders are advancing a budget bill that could severely cut back or eliminate key clean energy tax incentives years ahead of schedule, including the 30% federal solar tax credit currently saving Colorado residents thousands.

Incentives Going Away

What’s at Stake?

The federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), extended initially through 2034 under the Inflation Reduction Act, may now expire as early as December 31, 2025. This potential rollback would increase the cost of going solar and slow down progress toward U.S. energy independence and climate goals.

“The residential solar tax credit has democratized solar and accelerated the American transition to energy independence… Terminating this pivotal program early would deal a huge blow to millions of homeowners.” — Industry Statement to The Cool Down.

For customers in Colorado, this could mean losing out on up to $9,000 in savings. And with demand surging in anticipation of the deadline, installer availability and equipment supply could become limited well before the expiration date.
