2025 Final Reminder: The 30% Solar Tax Credit Is Ending, and Cyber Monday Is Your Last Chance!

With ongoing changes in clean energy policy, this year may be the last real window for American households to take advantage of high solar incentives. If you’re considering purchasing solar panels, energy storage systems, or home backup power systems, there has never been a better time to act — especially during the upcoming Cyber Monday event, where discounts and the 30% tax credit stack together to potentially save you thousands of dollars.

What Is the 30% Solar Tax Credit?

The 30% Solar Tax Credit, officially known as the Residential Clean Energy Credit (under U.S. Internal Revenue Code §25D), allows eligible homeowners to claim 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system as a federal income tax credit.

It covers:

• Solar panels (solar PV modules)
• Solar battery storage systems
• Inverters, wiring, mounting hardware
• Installation labor and other qualifying clean-energy property expenses

For example, installing a system costing $20,000 allows you to claim a $6,000 federal tax credit.

Unlike a deduction, this credit directly reduces your tax bill dollar-for-dollar, giving you immediate and substantial financial benefit.

When Does the Solar Tax Credit End?

According to the latest legislation and policy updates:

• Under the original Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the 30% tax credit was scheduled to apply to systems installed from 2022 to 2032.
• However, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA), signed in July 2025, introduced major changes: residential systems placed in service after December 31, 2025 will no longer qualify for the solar tax credit.

This means 2025 is the last year for homeowners to claim the full 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit.

To benefit from the federal tax credit, your system must be installed and placed in service before the end of 2025. Systems activated in 2026 or later will no longer be eligible unless future policies change.

Simply put — this is a genuine last-chance opportunity for anyone considering solar or battery storage.

Why Cyber Monday Is the Best Time to Buy

By combining the tax credit’s final deadline with the once-a-year Cyber Monday mega sale, you get a rare and extremely valuable double-saving opportunity.

• Cyber Monday typically offers the lowest prices of the entire year on solar panels, portable power stations, home battery systems, and solar generator kits.
• Purchasing during Cyber Monday allows you to enjoy immediate discounts plus the 30% federal tax credit — a powerful combination of “sale price + tax savings.”
• Since the Solar Tax Credit ends on December 31, failing to purchase and install before the deadline means higher costs in the future and the loss of federal incentives.

In short, Cyber Monday + the 2025 tax credit expiration create a unique, one-time, golden savings window.

Products and Systems That Qualify for the 30% Credit + Cyber Monday Discounts

Consider buying now if you’re looking at:

• Solar panels (PV panels)
• Home battery systems / backup power
• Solar + battery integrated systems with inverters and installation included
• Newly installed systems on your primary residence or another qualifying home you own

For customers purchasing within the OUPES product line — portable power stations, solar panels, and solar generator bundles — these products may qualify under the credit if they are part of a compliant solar + storage system installed within 2025. Click here to see the steps to claim.

Conclusion: 2025 May Be the Last Big Year for Residential Solar Incentives

• The 30% Solar Tax Credit has been one of the most generous federal clean-energy incentives of the past decade.
• End of 2025 may be the last chance for homeowners to get both the 30% credit and discounted system pricing.
• Cyber Monday offers the strongest overlap of discounts and incentives.

If you are considering solar panels, home batteries, backup power, or lowering your electricity bills, now is the most cost-effective and time-sensitive moment to act. Missing this window means future discounts and federal incentives may be significantly reduced — or disappear entirely.

Act now: choose your system, contact your installer, place your order, and ensure installation is completed before year-end so your system is “placed in service” in time — securing both the 30% federal solar tax credit and Cyber Monday’s lowest prices.
