The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for commercial businesses ends soon.
Commercial energy costs are rising, and the federal 30% solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is set to phase down for many businesses starting in 2026.
Between shifting deadlines, new depreciation rules, and tightening bonus credit windows, the next 18 months are critical for commercial property owners and developers who want to capture the full value of solar incentives.
EVERY MONTH YOU WAIT, YOUR TIMELINE COMPRESSES
Projects must begin construction by July 4, 2026 to qualify for the full 30% — and be placed in service by December 31, 2027.
ACTION REQUIRED: Conduct feasibility study, secure design + financing, and begin permitting.
AT STAKE: Demand and interconnection delays are growing. Start early to control your timeline.
ACTION REQUIRED: Begin physical construction to “start” your project and lock in the full 30% ITC. (The old 5% cost-incurred Safe Harbor no longer applies to systems >1.5 MW.)
AT STAKE: Miss this date → risk losing eligibility for the full 30% ITC.
ACTION REQUIRED: Place your system in service if construction wasn’t started by July 4, 2026.
AT STAKE: Projects that miss this deadline may lose or reduce their federal credit eligibility.
