Industry Outlook Flags Solar Headwinds From Residential Tax Credit Changes
Rules tied to solar tax credits are creating a more immediate headwind for residential projects than for utility-scale solar, which SEIA expects to produce uneven growth. The OBBBA eliminates the Section 25D residential clean-energy credit after Dec. 31, 2025. Module production covers about 70% of U.S. installations, but cell supply still depends on imports, and a potential Section 232 action on polysilicon could further constrain manufacturing.
