Final House Tax Bill Delivers 'Gut Punch' to Rooftop Solar with Stringent Credit Rollbacks

RUN
September 21, 2025
A House tax bill, in its final form, includes stringent provisions and accelerated rollback dates for renewable energy credits, which analysts described as "especially bleak for rooftop solar." This legislation is expected to deliver a significant negative impact on the industry, which relies heavily on these incentives for its growth and economic viability. The bill sunsets renewable energy credits, a move that was anticipated, but the specific details of the provisions and the earlier phase-out timelines are more severe than many in the industry had feared. This creates substantial long-term uncertainty for companies operating in the residential solar sector. For Sunrun, whose business model is built on providing clean energy as a subscription service, often leveraging these tax credits to make installations affordable for homeowners, these changes pose a significant challenge. The stricter terms could impact customer acquisition costs and overall project economics.
