Residential Solar Panels for Long Island Homeowners
Residential solar systems must be fully installed and operational by December 31, 2025 to qualify. Act now to lock in your savings before the window closes.
Long Island homeowners have a limited-time opportunity to take advantage of the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit — a federal incentive that can significantly reduce the cost of going solar. With installation timelines tightening and demand rising, planning your project now is the best way to stay ahead of the deadline.
How Solar Works for Long Island Homes
Solar energy systems use photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate clean electricity from sunlight. A complete system typically includes solar panels, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity; an inverter, which transforms that DC into alternating current (AC) for use in your home; and a net metering system that credits you for any excess electricity sent back to the grid.

Start Now to Maximize Your Savings
Time is a critical factor. To qualify for the 30% tax credit, your system must be fully installed and have received utility Permission to Operate (PTO) by December 31, 2025. Given rising demand and longer lead times across the industry, delaying your decision could result in missed savings.
What exactly is changing with the federal solar tax credit?
The 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit will expire after December 31, 2025. To qualify, your system must be fully installed and approved for operation (PTO) by that date. There will be no step-down or extension — the credit will drop from 30% to 0% overnight.
How does this deadline affect the cost of my project?
The credit reduces your federal tax liability by 30% of your system’s total cost. For example, a $50,000 system qualifies for a $15,000 credit. If your project isn’t completed in time, that savings is lost — raising your net cost significantly.
What are the risks of waiting to move forward?
Delaying your project introduces several risks:
Price Increases: Higher demand could drive up equipment costs.
Availability Issues: Premium modules may become harder to source.
Scheduling Delays: Installer calendars for 2025 are already filling.
Permitting Bottlenecks: Building departments and utilities are receiving more applications, increasing processing times.
I’m building a new home — does that change anything?
Yes. For new construction, solar needs to be carefully coordinated with the build schedule. Starting early allows us to align the solar installation with the appropriate phase of construction and avoid delays that could push you past the deadline.
What should I do to secure the 30% tax credit?
You must:
Approve your solar proposal, and
Sign your installation contract promptly.
