Solar Installers: What You Need to Know to Make This Your Most Profitable Quarter Yet

As the nation’s leading solar and energy storage distributor, Soligent is urging our installer partners to take immediate action. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), signed into law on July 4, 2025, eliminates the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) for systems installed after December 31, 2025. This is a defining moment for your business—and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

No Grace Period. No Exceptions. Just a Hard Deadline

The OBBB removes the 30% federal tax credit for residential solar and battery systems not fully installed and operational by midnight, December 31, 2025. Homeowners stand to lose up to $9,000 in savings. With permitting, utility approvals, and installation timelines often taking 2–4 months, time is already running out. Installers must secure contracts now to meet this deadline.

5 Reasons You Must Push Solar Sales Immediately

1. Lead with the 30% Tax Credit While It Lasts This is your most powerful closing tool. For a $25,000 system, the tax credit saves $7,500. Once it’s gone, customers absorb the full system cost—shrinking your pipeline and delaying projects. Use this incentive now to accelerate conversions.

2. Avoid the Year-End Bottleneck Industry forecasts show a 20–30% spike in installations in Q4. Delaying contracts risks running out of time. Beat the rush by booking projects early and keeping your calendar—and margins—under control.

3. Push Solar + Storage While Both Still Qualify Thanks to the 2022 IRA, standalone batteries qualify for the credit—but only through 2025. Storage is surging due to reliability concerns and rate hikes. Bundling solar with batteries not only maximizes incentives, but also addresses top homeowner concerns. Soligent has top-tier battery inventory in stock and ready to ship.

4. Lock In Equipment Before the Supply Crunch Hits Demand is spiking—and so are lead times. Panels and inverters are already seeing 6–8 week backlogs. Secure product now to avoid price hikes, inventory gaps, and shipping delays. Soligent offers bulk discounts, regional warehouse pickup, and fast delivery.

5. Stay Ahead of Policy Volatility The OBBB, paired with the July 7 executive order modifying commercial project rules, signals more change is coming. Don’t wait for new uncertainty. This is your window to act while consumer interest is high and incentives are still active.
