It’s Never Been a Better Time to Go Solar | Plugged In
The clock is ticking on the biggest solar savings in a decade, and it's not just about money—it's about energy security.
In this episode of Plugged In, we discuss how the new budget bill slashed the solar tax credit nearly 10 years early, creating a December 31st deadline to claim roughly $9,000 in savings. But here's the thing: even without the ITC, going solar now makes more sense than ever.
We sit down with Emily Walker from EnergySage who fought lawmakers in D.C., Ravi Mikkelsen from @atmosfinancial who explains why solar loans beat leases every time, and @solartimeusa's Martyna Kowalczyk who reveals why her Texas customers aren't calling about incentives—they're calling about survival. We also spoke with homeowner, storyteller, and climate activist @ReLauren on her experience going solar in this political climate.
This episode isn't just about tax credits and payback periods. It's about taking control of your energy future. The solar industry might have a bad rap, but we'll show you how to navigate it safely. Time to stop letting utility companies control your power bill—and your power security.
