Bill killing the solar tax credit is signed
President Trump signed the “Big Beautiful Bill” into law on July 4, ending the 30% federal residential solar tax credit on Dec. 31, 2025, nearly a decade earlier than planned. The abrupt cutoff is expected to raise solar costs for homeowners, lead to major job losses in the solar industry and reduce access to solar for middle-class families, just as rising electricity demand from AI data centers threatens to drive utility bills even higher.
