With energy rates rising and policy shifts underway, many homeowners are asking:
“Is solar still worth it in 2025?”
Spoiler alert: Absolutely. But there’s a lot of noise out there — so let’s bust the top 5 myths that might be keeping you from making one of the smartest decisions for your home and wallet.
Myth #1: The Solar Tax Credit Is Gone
False. While lawmakers are trying to eliminate the 30% federal solar tax credit (Section 25D), it’s still active as of now — and could still be yours if you act before the end of 2025.
But warning: once it’s gone, it’s gone. That’s thousands of dollars lost if you wait too long.
✅ Truth: You can still lock in 30% off your solar system — but 2025 might be your last shot.
Myth #2: Solar Is Too Expensive in 2025
The irony? Waiting makes it more expensive.
Due to new tariffs, equipment costs are on the rise — especially batteries and panels. Combine that with utility rate hikes, and solar is quickly shifting from a “nice to have” to a financial necessity.
✅ Truth: Going solar now could protect you from rate hikes and price surges.
Myth #3: You Need a Perfect Roof or Full Sun All Day
Nope! Today’s solar systems are smarter, more efficient, and designed to work on imperfect roofs, in shaded areas, or even on ground mounts if needed. Plus, batteries make solar more flexible than ever before.
✅ Truth: If you have a roof and a bill, you’re probably a candidate.
Myth #4: You’ll Be Off the Grid
Most homeowners stay connected to the grid and simply generate more power than they use — sending energy back to the utility and earning credits (thanks, Net Metering). You won’t need to live like a wilderness survivalist.
✅ Truth: You stay on the grid — you just stop renting energy from it.
Myth #5: Solar Doesn’t Really Save That Much
Let’s be blunt — electric bills are getting brutal. We’ve seen Southern California Edison bills soar past $400-$600/month. Our solar customers often knock that down to $10-$20/month, or eliminate it entirely with battery storage.
✅ Truth: The savings are real, and they’re only getting bigger.
🔋 Bottom Line: Solar Is Still 100% Worth It — Especially in 2025
