The “Big Beautiful Bill” and What It Means for Florida Homeowners Going Solar
The “Big Beautiful Bill” and What It Means for Florida Homeowners Going Solar
The solar industry is facing big changes in 2025. With the passing of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal energy policies are shifting, and we’re already seeing ripple effects across the solar market. One of the most alarming? Even major companies like Sunnova have filed for bankruptcy, leaving homeowners uncertain about the future of solar incentives.
So, what does this mean for Florida homeowners—and why is now the time to act? Let’s break it down.
1. The Federal Solar Tax Credit Is Ending Sooner Than You Think
The 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) is one of the biggest incentives for homeowners to go solar. Right now, it allows you to deduct nearly one-third of your system’s cost from your federal taxes.
But under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” the ITC is set to end in December 2025. After that, there’s no guarantee Congress will extend or renew the benefit. That means if you wait, you could lose out on thousands of dollars in savings.
Think of it like the EV tax credit, which is officially expiring in September 2025. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
2. Solar Companies Are Feeling the Pressure
With policy changes and reduced incentives on the horizon, large solar providers are struggling to stay afloat. Sunnova’s bankruptcy has already sent shockwaves through the industry, raising questions about which companies will survive these changes.
The takeaway? Homeowners need to work with local, reliable solar brokers and installers who will still be around to service systems years down the road. At Solar Joshua, we partner with multiple vetted installers to ensure homeowners are protected, no matter what happens in the wider market.
3. Rising Electric Rates Aren’t Slowing Down
While incentives are shrinking, one thing isn’t—utility costs. Florida homeowners are paying more every year for power, and storms continue to put our grid at risk. Solar energy, especially with battery backup, helps protect your family from both rising costs and outages.
The sooner you switch, the sooner you lock in savings.
4. Why the End of 2025 Is a Hard Deadline
If you’ve been “thinking about solar,” the clock is ticking. By the end of 2025:
The 30% tax credit is scheduled to disappear.
More large solar providers could be forced out of the market.
Homeowners who wait may face higher system prices without federal help.
In other words, waiting could cost you thousands.
Final Thoughts
The “Big Beautiful Bill” is reshaping the solar industry, and the message for Florida homeowners is clear: make the move before it’s too late. Just like the EV tax credit is gone in September, the solar tax credit won’t last forever.
