Claim Your 30% Solar Tax Credit Before It’s Gone

Written by
National Solar
Published on
October 10, 2025

If you’re a Oregon homeowner considering solar energy, the clock is ticking. The federal solar tax credit, which allows you to deduct 30% of your solar installation cost from your federal taxes, is set to begin phasing out after 2025. That means 2025 is the last full year to take full advantage of this valuable incentive.

Waiting could cost you thousands.

What Is the Federal Solar Tax Credit?

The Residential Clean Energy Credit (commonly called the solar investment tax credit or ITC) currently gives homeowners a 30% tax credit when they install solar panels. This includes:

  • Solar panel equipment
  • Installation labor
  • Energy storage systems
  • Permitting and inspection fees

For a $25,000 solar system, that’s $7,500 in federal tax savings — real money that directly reduces what you owe in federal taxes.

But after December 31, 2025, the credit is set to drop and eventually disappear for homeowners.

Why This Matters More in Oregon

Oregon continues to experience extreme heat, rising energy costs, and growing demand on an overstretched power grid. More homeowners are investing in solar and battery storage to protect their families and lower their utility bills. But as more people jump in, supply chain delays and permitting timelines are getting longer.

Even though the credit technically expires at the end of 2025, you must start the process soon to ensure your system is installed and operational in time to qualify.

What You Need to Do Now

If you want to lock in the 30% tax credit, here are the steps you need to take:

  1. Schedule a free solar consultation with National Solar
  2. Get a custom solar proposal that shows your expected savings, design, incentive eligibility and energy production estimates
  3. Start your installation process as soon as possible — planning, permitting, and approvals all take time.

Don’t Leave This Money on the Table

Solar is a long-term investment in your home and your family’s energy future — and the 30% tax credit makes it significantly more affordable. But the savings won’t last forever.

At National Solar, we specialize in helping Oregon homeowners take control of their energy with no-hassle solar installations, clear pricing, and a process that moves fast.

Get your system installed before the deadline. Save thousands while you still can.
