"Why Rooftop Solar Could Crash Under the G.O.P. Tax Bill" [1]

"Federal tax breaks have fueled a boom. The House bill would end that immediately." 

"Over the past two decades, more than 5 million U.S. households from California to Georgia to Maine have put solar panels on their roofs, drawing energy from the sun and reducing their electric bills.

But that could soon come to a crashing halt.

The big domestic policy bill passed by House Republicans last month would, by the end of this year, eliminate tax credits for homeowners and solar leasing companies that have fueled the popularity of rooftop solar. If it becomes law, it would lead to an immediate plunge in installations, analysts and companies say."

Brad Plumer reports for the New York Times June 11, 2025. [2]
