Solar tax incentives are changing fast — and for Arizona homeowners, that means the clock is ticking. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed on July 4, 2025), the standard 30% residential solar tax credit is set to expire on December 31, 2025.
But there’s good news: if you act now, there’s still a way to extend your eligibility and even unlock additional tax credits by commercializing your solar system.
In this blog, we’ll explain what that means, why it works, and how True Power Solar makes the entire process easy.
Watch: Jason Explains the Strategy Behind Commercializing Solar
Here’s Jason from True Power Solar breaking it all down — how the recent policy changes affect Arizona homeowners, and how commercializing your solar system can help you extend your credits and increase your savings:
“You become an energy business — and that means real tax benefits, from depreciation to domestic content bonuses to 3 more years of credits.”
Whether you’re planning a new solar installation or already have a system, you can take advantage of the current law while it’s still in effect.
What Does It Mean to “Commercialize” Your Solar System?
Commercializing your solar system means placing it inside of a registered business entity, such as a sole proprietorship or LLC. You essentially become a micro energy business that sells power back to the grid. The system becomes a business asset, which unlocks access to a different category of tax incentives than those available to homeowners.
This strategy is 100% IRS-compliant and completely handled for you by our network of CPAs and attorneys – no guesswork, no extra stress.
Why Is This Necessary Now?
Here’s the reality:
- The 30% residential solar credit (Section 25D) ends on December 31, 2025.
- By commercializing your system, you can still qualify for the 30% Commercial ITC (Section 48E) for up to three more years.
- Some of these credits, like depreciation and domestic content bonuses, can take multiple years to fully collect.
- Acting now gives you access to credits for this year, next year, and the year after — all while we file your taxes for you.
⚠️ If you wait until next year, you could miss your chance to claim all available credits — especially if your system isn’t structured properly in time.
What You Get When You Commercialize Solar
By converting your solar system into a commercial asset, you may qualify for:
- ✅ 30% Commercial Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
- ✅ Accelerated depreciation of your system (MACRS)
- ✅ Domestic content bonus
- ✅ Extended eligibility window (through 2028)
- ✅ Professional tax filing support for up to 3 years
- ✅ Full ownership — no leases or PPA traps
