Is Solar Worth It in Colorado Springs? Rising Electric Rates Say Yes
Colorado Springs electric bills are on the rise. Going solar in 2025 is well worth the investment to help control your energy costs. Find out why now is the best time to go solar!
If you’ve been thinking about going solar, now is the time to act.
The proposed Residential Clean Energy Credit 2025 changes put this 30% federal tax credit–one of the most powerful financial incentives available to homeowners—under serious threat. With ongoing discussions in Washington about rolling back key parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, there’s a real possibility that this federal incentive could be reduced or eliminated entirely. That means waiting could cost you thousands.
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.
This 30% incentive was extended through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act—but with potential changes in federal leadership and mounting pressure to revise the bill, the future of this credit is now uncertain.
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.
If the proposed Residential Clean Energy Credit 2025 changes are passed into law, your solar system will still be a smart investment—but you’ll be missing out on substantial savings.
