Best Roof Materials for Solar Panels in Colorado: Tips from the Pros Before You Install
From shingles to metal, see which roof materials are solar-friendly in Colorado—and how to prep for a seamless installation.
If you’ve been thinking about going solar, now is the time to act.
The proposed Residential Clean Energy Credit 2025 changes have now been signed into law. On July 4, 2025, the president passed a new budget bill that ends this powerful financial incentive by year-end. This means that to be eligible for the 30% federal tax credit, your solar system must now be installed by December 31, 2025.
The Residential Clean Energy Credit (also known as the Investment Tax Credit or ITC) allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the total cost of a solar panel system (and battery storage) from their federal taxes. This credit applies whether you pay in full or finance your system. It also covers equipment, installation, permitting, and related labor costs.
Solar systems already pay for themselves through long-term energy savings, but this tax credit significantly shortens that payback period. For the average Colorado homeowner, the 30% credit can translate to $6,000–$10,000 or more in savings.
Even with the new Residential Clean Energy Credit 2025 changes, your solar system remains a smart investment—but you’ll be missing out on substantial savings.
