“Big Beautiful Bill” Passes, What It Means for Homeowners

If you’ve been thinking about going solar, now is the time to pay attention.

On July 4, 2025, a major bill was signed into law that could change how much you save when you go solar. It’s called the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and while the name might sound playful, the impact is serious especially for homeowners in places like California City.

Let’s break it down in plain English.

What Changed with the New Bill?

Here’s the headline:
The 30% federal solar tax credit is being phased out for homeowners. That means if you install solar panels on your home after December 31, 2025, you won’t be able to claim the federal tax credit that’s been saving people thousands of dollars.

Right now, that 30% credit can knock off about $9,000 from an average solar system.

If you wait too long, that savings disappears.

What You Need to Know (and Why It’s Urgent)

• The deadline is December 31, 2025.
  Your system must be fully installed and turned on by then to qualify for the credit.
• This isn’t just a price change it’s a game-changer.
  After 2025, you’ll be paying significantly more out of pocket for the same system.
• Solar demand is about to skyrocket.
  More people rushing to install means longer wait times. Starting now gives you a major head start.

Thinking About Batteries? Now’s the Time

Adding a solar battery means you can store your own energy and use it at night or during blackouts. While federal incentives are ending, battery storage still makes sense especially with California’s frequent power outages and high rates.

What This Means for You (And What to Do Next)

Here’s the truth: This bill doesn’t mean solar is no longer worth it it just means the clock is ticking. The people who act now will save the most.
