How the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Turns Its Back on Solar

Let’s be clear: this bill is not a clean energy win. It’s a rollback of progress, plain and simple.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” cuts federal support for residential solar and leaves families stuck with higher energy bills and fewer options.
Act Now—Before 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit Ends.

What You Need to Know

The bill targets key clean energy programs and accelerates the shutdown of federal solar incentives—most notably, the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which has helped thousands of families affordably go solar.

Here’s how it hits:

  • The 30% federal solar tax credit, originally set to run through 2032, has been cut short. If your solar installation isn’t completed and operational by December 31, 2025, you will no longer qualify for the credit.

The Bigger Picture: Homeowners Get Left Behind

Funding goes to utilities and large-scale energy developers — not everyday Americans. This bill moves us further away from energy independence for homeowners.

Mike Teresso, President of Baker Home Energy, warns that the bill could cost California over 20,000 clean energy jobs and hit homeowners with higher electric bills.

“Residential solar has always been about empowering people to take control of their energy. This bill takes that power away. At Baker, we’re making sure our customers don’t lose that choice.”

Why Act Now?

This is no longer a warning—it’s a countdown. Installation slots are limited and demand is rising.

Contact Baker Home Energy today to schedule your solar and battery system and lock in your 30% tax credit before it’s gone.
