AS POLICY CHANGES, SOLAR IS STILL A GOOD - AND ATTAINABLE - SOLUTION FOR HOMEOWNERS & BUSINESSES

The potential for solar energy to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions is undeniable: recent studies show that just a 15% increase in solar production could lead to major environmental benefits for the U.S. But while the technology continues to evolve, policy changes, such as fewer federal incentives and credits, have created some uncertainty around the future of solar energy.

Despite these challenges, homeowners and businesses can still confidently invest in solar upgrades. Here’s why solar is still an important and attainable option, and how you can make it happen:

Take advantage of available incentives – Act now to maximize your savings. While federal incentives may not be as robust as they once were, state and local incentives are still available. Federal incentives are still available, as long as your system is fully installed before December 31, 2025 – so move quickly to qualify for the 30% tax credit.

Invest in cost-effective, long-term solutions – Save more as technology advances: One thing that’s clear is that solar power is becoming more cost-effective every year. The costs of installation are dropping, and battery storage solutions are more affordable than ever. At Fiske Electric, we’re helping clients navigate these options, delivering the best solutions tailored to their needs, regardless of policy.

Get ahead with solar – Future-proof your farm or business: In the agricultural and industrial sectors, the need for energy-efficient solutions is growing, whether or not federal incentives are abundant. The sooner you invest in solar solutions, the more you can benefit from long-term savings and environmental benefits.

Secure reliable, clean energy for the future – Control your energy costs and impact: This isn’t just about reducing emissions, it’s about securing a sustainable, reliable energy source for your home or business. As energy needs grow and climate concerns intensify, making the switch to cleaner energy solutions like solar is becoming increasingly important. For both homeowners and business owners, adopting clean energy is a proactive step toward reducing long-term energy costs and preparing for the evolving energy landscape.

What you can do as a home or business owner:

• Take advantage of state and local incentives – and the federal 30% tax credit while it’s still available

• Consider solar panels and battery storage as part of your home’s energy management.

• Start small—every step towards solar energy is progress, and it all adds up.

By embracing clean energy solutions, you’re future-proofing your property or business. Clean energy reduces reliance on traditional, volatile power sources, which can fluctuate in

price. It allows you to have more control over your energy use and costs, providing stability and savings as you move forward. At Fiske Electric, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and help our customers make sustainable choices, even when external factors pose challenges. While policy may fluctuate, the value of solar power remains clear.
