Why Now Is the Time to Go Solar: Top Reasons to Make the Switch in 2025
Thinking about going solar? You’re not alone—more Massachusetts homeowners than ever are making the switch to clean energy. But 2025 may be the most important year yet to move forward.
Here’s why: the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) could expire or be reduced after this year, depending on what happens in Washington. If you wait, you could miss out on one of the biggest financial incentives available for solar.
Now is the time to act—and here are the top reasons why.
1. The 30% Federal Tax Credit Might Not Last
The federal solar tax credit currently lets you deduct 30% of your system cost from your federal taxes. But it’s not guaranteed to stick around. If Congress doesn’t renew it, the credit could drop or disappear entirely after 2025. That would mean thousands of dollars left on the table.
Go solar this year and lock in your full credit while it’s still available.
2. Lower Your Energy Bills Immediately
Electricity prices in Massachusetts are among the highest in the country—and they’re not getting cheaper. Solar lets you generate your own power, protect yourself from rising rates, and start saving from day one.
Over time, solar pays for itself. Many homeowners see savings of $1,200–$2,000+ per year, depending on system size and usage.
3. Increase Your Home’s Value
Solar panels aren’t just a utility upgrade—they’re an asset. Homes with solar sell for more, and often faster. On average, solar increases resale value by $4,000 to $6,000 per kilowatt installed.
And with today’s energy costs, solar is becoming more attractive to buyers than ever.
4. Stack State Incentives and Rebates
In Massachusetts, you can combine the federal credit with state-level solar incentives like:
- The $1,000 MA state solar tax credit
- Net metering (earn credit for excess energy)
- Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that you can sell for extra income
- Additional cash incentives through the SMART or MLP programs (depending on your utility)
These programs can cut your total system cost dramatically—but some have limited funding or may change based on state budgets.
5. Solar Systems Are Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
We only install high-quality, warrantied equipment that’s built to last. Most systems come with 25-year warranties, and require minimal maintenance. That means you save more without worrying about major upkeep costs.
6. Support the Local Economy
When you install solar through Future Energy Solar, you’re supporting a locally-owned business that employs Massachusetts-based crews and reinvests in the community. You’re also helping to grow the clean energy workforce—one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S.
7. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Solar energy is 100% renewable. By switching to solar, you reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and cut down on harmful emissions—helping protect the environment for future generations.
It’s one of the most impactful choices you can make for sustainability.
Don’t Wait—2025 Could Be Your Last Chance to Max Out Solar Incentives
