Beyond Tax Credits: Why Bay Area Homeowners Should Bundle Solar, Batteries, and EV Readiness in 2025

The Solar Incentive Landscape in 2025

The solar industry is buzzing this year—not just from record-breaking installations, but from the uncertainty around federal tax credits.

Right now, homeowners can still take advantage of the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), but this is set to expire for residential projects after December 31, 2025, unless Congress extends it.

That means 2025 may be the last big year for maximum savings.

Why Solar Still Wins—Even With Policy Changes

Despite policy shifts, solar remains a powerhouse:

  • The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that 12 GW of solar were installed in the first half of 2025, with another 21 GW expected by year-end.

  • Solar stocks are up nearly 17% this summer as clarified incentive rules give investors and homeowners confidence.

  • California utilities like PG&E continue raising rates, making solar + storage more cost-effective than ever.

Bundling Is the New Smart Move

Forward-looking homeowners aren’t just adding solar panels anymore—they’re bundling solar with backup batteries, EV chargers, and electrification upgrades.

Here’s why:

  • Solar + Storage: Protects your home from blackouts and rising peak-hour rates.

  • Solar + EV Charger: Prepare for California’s electric vehicle future while charging at home with clean energy.

  • Panel Upgrades: Ensure your home is ready for higher loads from solar, EVs, and all-electric appliances.

This approach means more value, more resilience, and more energy independence.

What This Means for Bay Area Homeowners

  • Act Before 2026: Installations completed in 2025 qualify for the 30% credit. Waiting could cost thousands.

  • Add a Battery: Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, and FranklinWH all qualify for the credit.

  • Future-Proof Your Home: Homes with bundled energy systems are more attractive to future buyers.
