Today on the Solar Roundup, we wanted to help you streamline the current conversation about solar. The industry is going through some changes, and we wanted to pull together some recent articles in order to tell the story of this change – what’s shifting, why, and how industry leaders are working hard to prepare for the future of solar. We hope to be able to provide some insight on the changes that are currently occurring at the federal level, and give you a glimpse into our thought process as we plan around new guidelines, policies, and market shifts. In today’s solar roundup, we’re going to connect the dots between solar financing, domestic content, and the future of solar.
Financing is an important part of the solar industry because it plays a large role in making this investment more accessible for more people, but it doesn’t become a part of the conversation until much later in the process. When we talk about going solar, much of the focus is on the many benefits that come with an installation, but it’s worth also exploring how financing helps people go from paying high energy bills to enjoying the perks and incentives of solar. In our article Making Solar More Accessible With Financing, we explore some of the ways that financing can empower you to get into solar, and how a smart investment can ultimately provide you with meaningful returns.
The term domestic content, specifically domestic content approved, is a relatively new one in the solar industry, but it’s one you’re going to be hearing a lot more of in the coming months. Given that the residential solar tax credit is ending this year, the domestic content conversation is about to play a very big role in the saving proposition of solar. For those worried about the end of the 30% solar tax credit, domestic content may be the key to securing additional incentives on their installation. In our article Domestic Content and the Other Solar Tax Credit, we explore the concept of domestic content approval, and explain how it factors into your ability to access the other tax credit.
Any time there is a sizable shakeup in an industry, it is natural to stop and take stock of where we are now and to consider where we’re going to be in the future. The ending of the solar tax credit has been a major news story throughout the year, and will likely continue to be right up until the deadline arrives, but one question that we’ve seen over and over is this: what will happen to solar after the tax credit ends? Given that we live and breathe solar every day, our perspective on where we are headed is likely different than those coming to the industry looking to invest. With our article What Will Solar Look Like in 2026?, we share some of our insights into the industry, and give you a sneak preview of what solar will look like next year and beyond.
