But the IRS has recently clarified that your solar system must be fully installed — not inspected or interconnected — before December 31 to qualify for the 30% tax credit. The IRS has changed the timing rule for claiming the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D). Instead of being considered. . To qualify, homeowners must have purchased the system and incurred qualifying expenses (such as installation or equipment costs) by this date. Homeowners using leases or PPAs—where a third party owns the system—can still benefit from the tax credit until the end of 2027. With the federal tax credit ending December 31st and multiple state programs closing simultaneously, installers and EPCs face the most intense quarter in solar history. Just paying for it is not enough. Section 25D (e) (8) (A) provides that an expenditure. .
