House Passes 2025 Sunset for Federal Solar Tax Credit
On May 22, 2025, the House passed a version of the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” which would end the Section 25D, Residential Clean Energy Credit on December 31st, 2025. To qualify for the 30% tax credit, the residential system must be placed-in-service by the end of 2025. Prior to becoming law, the bill must pass the Senate and be signed by the President.

Crunched Timeline Creates Dilemma
Senate Timeline and Demand Surge: The Senate’s discussions, expected to extend through the summer until the debt ceiling forces action, will amplify consumer urgency to secure the Residential Solar Tax Credit before potential changes. Historically, policy uncertainty (e.g., ITC step-downs) has driven similar demand surges, straining installation pipelines.
Execution Capacity Constraints: Supply chains and labor shortages can lag behind demand spikes. At the national level, manufacturers and distributors are unprepared for volumes surge. At the local level, permitting offices, utilities and solar installers will experience extended timelines with increased volume.
Consumer Catch-22: Consumers face a dilemma to either sign contracts early to secure “placed in service” installations for the tax credit, or wait for the final bill. The catch is that by the time the final bill becomes law, the consumer may have missed the opportunity to secure a 2025 installation.

As we welcome March, we also embrace longer days with daylight saving time and the official start of Spring! More sunlight isn’t just great for outdoor activities—it’s also a major benefit for homeowners looking to maximize their energy savings with solar power.
Why More Sun Means More Savings
Did you know that homes with solar panels can generate up to 80% more energy in the summer compared to the winter months?* That’s because longer days and increased sunlight exposure allow solar panels to produce more electricity, reducing your reliance on the grid and lowering your utility bills.
By switching to solar now, your system could be fully operational by the time the most productive months of the year arrive, ensuring you get the maximum return on your investment.
Maximize Your Energy with Solar + Battery Storage
Solar energy isn’t just about producing power during the day—it’s also about storing energy for when you need it most. With a solar + battery backup solution, you can capture excess energy produced during peak daylight hours and use it later – whether at night, during peak-rate times, or in case of a power outage. This means:
- Less reliance on the grid
- Greater energy independence
- Peace of mind during unexpected outages
Why Spring is the Perfect Time to Make the Switch
Spring is a prime season for solar installations. By making the switch now, your system will be up and running just in time for summer—when solar production is at its highest. This allows you to start saving immediately while taking advantage of incentives and rebates that may be available in your area.
Take Control of Your Energy Future
Don’t wait until peak summer rates kick in—start saving now! Contact Renu Energy Solutions today for a free consultation and see how much you could be saving with solar.

The Rising Cost of Power
In 2020, the average homeowner’s power bill was around $100 – but today, that cost has more than doubled with the average homeowner now paying over $200. Several factors contribute to this rise, including the increasing costs of maintaining the grid and the volatility of energy prices. Utility companies continue to pass these rising costs onto consumers, leaving homeowners with little control over their monthly bills. Without solar, you’re essentially renting your power from the grid, paying a monthly fee just to access electricity. However, when you choose solar, you take control of your energy. By generating your own power through solar panels, you can reduce or even eliminate your reliance on the utility company, protecting yourself from future rate hikes.
What’s even better? By adding a battery to your system, you can eliminate your dependence on the grid entirely. With solar + battery storage, you not only create your own energy but also store backup power for emergencies. This means that when the grid goes down due to storms, power outages, or unexpected failures, your home stays powered, keeping your lights on and your appliances running. Energy independence is more than just a convenience—it’s peace of mind, ensuring that you and your family have reliable electricity when you need it most.
The Financial Benefits of Switching to Solar
Switching to solar isn’t just about personal benefits—it’s also a smart financial decision. When you install solar, you gain access to a 30% federal tax credit, lowering your taxable income. Many states and utility companies also offer additional incentives, making solar even more affordable. Over time, your solar investment pays for itself through lower energy bills, increased home value, and long-term savings. Instead of throwing money away on ever-increasing electric bills, why not put that money toward something you own?
Solar Power and a Sustainable Future
Beyond financial savings, solar power contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable future. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, you help lower carbon emissions and decrease the overall demand for energy produced by traditional power plants. Many homeowners who go solar are not just thinking about their own energy needs but are also helping to strengthen the grid and support a more resilient energy infrastructure. When more homes generate their own power, the strain on the grid decreases, benefiting the entire community.
So, why keep renting your power when you can generate, store and own your energy? Making the switch to solar is an investment in your home, your finances and a more sustainable future. Take control of your energy and start saving today!

Renu Energy Solutions made the Solar Power World Top 500 Solar Contractor List!
We are so proud to announce we have made the Solar Power World Top 500 Solar Contractor’s list!
Although the COVID-19 pandemic is the immediate crisis unfolding at the moment, mitigating climate change is also an urgent issue. Solar PV installation is one way to help reduce greenhouse gases from fossil fuels. Solar Power World has recognized the efforts of solar contractors across the United States in its 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, where local solar installer Renu Energy Solutions achieved a rank of 180 out of 407 companies.
The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by Solar Power World to honor the work of solar installers big and small. Solar firms in the utility, commercial, and residential markets are ranked by the number of kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific service (developers, electrical subcontractors, EPCs, installation subcontractors, rooftop installers), markets, and states.
“The Solar Power World team is so pleased to highlight more than 400 companies on the 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, especially during this unprecedented time,” said Kelsey Misbrener, senior editor of Solar Power World. “All contractors featured on the 2020 list reported strong 2019 installation numbers and are continuing to stand tall this year.”
The Solar Power World Top 500 and COVID-19
This year’s Solar Power World Top 500 Solar Contractors are facing obstacles that this industry has never seen before. The first quarter of 2020 was the country’s biggest ever, with 3.6 GW of new solar capacity added. But COVID-19 impacts showed their force in Q2, and Wood Mackenzie is forecasting residential and non-residential markets will see 25% and 38% decreases in year-over-year installation volumes this year. Renu Energy Solutions has been able to successfully continue operating by taking many steps to ensure the health and safety of staff and customers during this time. Through introducing virtual and over the phone consultations, encouraging sanitary precautions at install sites, and enforcing social distancing measures in office and warehouse environments, Renu has maintained complete efficiency during this time.
In addition to persevering through this turbulent time in history, the 2020 class of Top Solar Contractors is continuing to innovate by adding energy storage to their offerings. Over one-third of this year’s contractors are also featured on the exclusive 2020 Top Solar + Storage Installers list. Renu Energy Solutions was included in this list as well, being ranked 40 out of 137 companies.
Renu Energy Solutions employs around 60 workers who installed 4491 Kilowatts of solar power in 2019. Since its founding in 2010, the company has installed 17,609 Kilowatts of solar. The company takes great pride in being able to offer effective energy solutions to homeowners, business owners, and nonprofits all across the country.

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armor, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been extremely competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well.

The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held virtually from October 23 to 27, 2020. As always, speakers will include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
