If you’re a homeowner considering solar energy, there’s never been a better time to act. Thanks to the 30% federal tax credit for solar and battery storage, investing in energy independence is more affordable than ever. But this opportunity won’t last forever—the credit is set to decrease at the end of the year, making now the time to lock in maximum savings while protecting your home from outages and rising utility costs.
Why More Homeowners Are Turning to Solar + Storage
Traditional grid-tied solar systems are a great start, but they fall short when the power goes out. Solar battery storage bridges that gap, allowing you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it when the sun isn’t shining—or when the grid fails. Here’s why more homeowners in 2025 are choosing to invest in solar energy storage.
The 30% Federal Tax Act Won’t Last Forever
Although the Inflation Reduction Act initially extended the 30% federal tax credit through 2032, a new law passed on July 4, 2025, has fast-tracked the deadline: homeowners now have until December 31, 2025 to qualify. Starting in 2026, residential solar and battery installations will no longer be eligible for this incentive.
If you’ve been thinking about solar or adding battery storage, this change means the clock is ticking. To take full advantage of the savings, your system must be installed before the year ends. Already have panels? You can still add battery backup and receive the full credit—just don’t wait too long, as installer schedules are booking up quickly.
Energy Security in an Unpredictable World
Storms, heatwaves, and grid outages are becoming more common. With a home battery system, you can stay powered through blackouts and reduce dependence on an aging and increasingly unreliable electric grid. Solar + storage gives you the peace of mind that your home and everything in it will stay up and running when you need it most.
Keep Your Electric Bills Low
Solar panels reduce your energy bills, but a battery system maximizes your savings by allowing you to store solar energy for later use. Instead of sending unused solar power back to the grid, you can draw from your own supply when rates peak or the sun goes down. Over time, this strategy helps you save more and shields you from rising electricity costs.
Increase the Value of Your Home
Adding a solar + storage system doesn’t just cut costs, it’s a smart home improvement. Buyers are increasingly drawn to energy-efficient homes with reliable backup power. According to multiple studies, homes with solar panels sell faster and for more money, and a battery system adds even more appeal.
