Final Chance: Ohio Solar Tax Credits End December 31, 2025

Time is running out! The 30% federal solar tax credit that has helped thousands of Ohio families reduce their solar costs will end permanently on December 31, 2025. Here's what you need to know about this final opportunity.

Federal Tax Credit: Final Year

The federal residential clean energy credit provides a 30% tax credit on qualified solar panel systems. This credit was recently eliminated by legislation signed in July 2025, making 2025 the final year to take advantage of this significant incentive.

Key Requirements:

• Solar systems must be fully installed and commissioned by December 31, 2025

• No cap on the credit amount

• Credit applies to panels, inverters, batteries, and related equipment

• Must be used for your primary or secondary residence

Example Savings: A $25,000 solar system qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, reducing your federal tax liability dollar-for-dollar.

Ohio State Incentives Still Available

While the federal credit ends, Ohio continues to offer valuable solar incentives in 2025:

Net Metering Credits: Ohio utilities provide credits for excess energy at approximately $0.11 per kWh. Credits can be banked indefinitely and carried forward month to month.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs): Ohio's SREC market provides additional income of $27-60 annually for typical residential systems, with certificates valued at $3-5 per megawatt-hour.

ECO-Link Financing: The Energy Conservation for Ohioans program offers financing at 3% below market rates for qualified applicants, making solar more accessible.

Local Property Tax Benefits: Cities like Cincinnati and Cleveland offer property tax exemptions on the added value from solar systems for up to 15 years.

Why Act Now

Solar projects typically require 3-6 months from initial consultation to final commissioning. With the December 31, 2025 deadline firm, starting your solar journey in 2025 is essential to secure the federal tax credit.

Additionally, Ohio's net metering policies may change in the future, as many states are reducing or eliminating these programs. Locking in current rates provides long-term protection for your solar investment.

Ground-Mounted Systems: Maximum Efficiency

Ground-mounted solar panels offer several advantages for Ohio properties:

• Optimal positioning for maximum sun exposure

• Better cooling efficiency due to improved airflow

• Easy maintenance and snow removal access

• Expandable design for future energy needs

• No impact on your home's structure

Calculate Your Potential Savings

With Ohio's average electricity rate of $0.17 per kWh and net metering credits at $0.11 per kWh, solar panel systems can significantly reduce your electricity costs. Combined with the 30% federal tax credit and Ohio incentives, many systems pay for themselves within 8-11 years while providing 25+ years of energy production.

Wringer Solar provides quality solar panels designed for Ohio's climate and optimal performance in ground-mounted configurations. Our panels are engineered to withstand Ohio's weather conditions while maximizing energy production.

A generation is 40 years. People may argue that, but the term "generation" is used in this presentation to mean a biblical time frame. I believe the system should last 100 years or more . Really? Yes. How? It's built differently. The panels are three-dimensional . The cover is either safety glass or polycarbonate one-quarter inch thick. I'm still thinking about the cover material but leaning toward polycarbonate because glass "runs" over time. The rest of the panel is made of stainless steel . Stainless steel lasts a very long time, probably over 100 years. Yes, things are not built like that, but they could be, and now you have a choice. The panels are set in an array to present a flat face to the light source. The array has dual-axis motion , north-south and east-west . The mount and support are also stainless steel. Linear drives are used for motion. Their positioning is twofold: an off-the-shelf positioner using optical (solar) input and a tracking system that reads the panel's output and adjusts for a very good output. Your payback is dependent on power output, so we are working to make it very good. The software is going to be "walk away." What does that mean? Turn it on and walk away—not novel but cool. Electronics do not last 100 years, so they will need preventative maintenance. Because the panel is a different design, the cells deteriorate at a much slower rate. Their output should be good for over 100 years. One more fun fact: this panel design has broken 100% efficiency several times. It only gets better!

In recent years, solar energy has emerged as a promising solution to combat climate change and meet the ever-growing global energy demand. Central to this renewable energy revolution are solar panels, which harness the sun’s abundant energy and convert it into electricity.
June 19, 2025
The efficiency of a solar energy system is determined by several factors, including the efficiency of the solar panels, the inverter efficiency, shading, orientation, and tilt angle of the panels, as well as environmental conditions such as temperature and sunlight intensity.
