Going Solar

The massive budget reconciliation bill that President Trump signed on July 4, 2025, may set off a rush to start construction of more projects by year end 2025 and again by early July 2026 to qualify for federal tax credits.  If you’re a business owner or operator of a commercial facility (including non-profits) and are considering solar, the clock is ticking to start projects and lock in the incentives that will yield the best project economics and reduce facility energy costs.

With the recent signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” or OBBBA, major changes are underway that will reshape how federal tax incentives for solar and battery storage work—especially here in Hawai‘i. If you’re a homeowner considering solar, the clock is ticking to take full advantage of the tax credit before it goes away permanently.
