Last Chance for Clean Energy Tax Credits
December 1, 2025
Federal tax credits on electric appliances and solar panels expire at year’s end and now is the time to apply to take advantage of them.
Solar: Lower prices for residential solar leases or solar power purchase agreements are still available. Leased residential solar panels are considered commercial tax credits since the installer claims them, lowering lease rates. Commercial/leased residential projects must be under construction by Saturday, July 4, but new restrictions apply after Thursday, Jan. 1. Consider signing on to solar now while supplies last.
Electric appliances and home efficiency: For residents switching from gas to electric appliances, or adding extra insulation or efficient windows, federal tax credits for homeowners expire Dec. 31. Montgomery County’s Electrify MC and Pepco’s Home Performance With Energy Star programs are ongoing and can also help offset costs. Additional funding and financing options are available for low-income residents. Questions about how to electrify your home? Contact Electrify MC at 301-830-5767 or electrifymc@elysianenergy. com. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.
