It’s a question more San Diego homeowners are asking every day:
“Is it too late to go solar this year and still claim the 30% Federal Tax Credit?”
The short answer?
No—but only if you act right now.
At
Your Energy Pros, we’ve helped hundreds of property owners throughout Southern California design, implement, and maintain solar energy systems that reduce bills, increase property value, and achieve energy independence. And right now, with the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) still available through the end of 2025—but facing serious bottlenecks—it’s more urgent than ever to take the first step.
That step starts with a
Free Energy Audit.
Let’s walk you through exactly what you need to know, and how starting this week can make all the difference.
Why the Solar Deadline Isn’t Just December 31st
While the official end date for the 30% tax credit is
December 31, 2025, most homeowners don’t realize that the
cutoff for starting the process is much sooner—especially in Southern California, where permit processing, utility approval, and installation pipelines are already backed up.
Here’s what has to happen before the deadline:
- Solar site evaluation and energy audit
- System design and homeowner approval
- Municipal permitting (varies by city, but averages 3–4 weeks)
- Installation scheduling (currently booking out 4–8 weeks)
- Final inspection and SDG&E interconnection approval (1–3 weeks)
This adds up to
6–10 weeks under ideal conditions—and it’s only getting longer as more homeowners rush to qualify.
If you wait too long to start, you could miss out—even if your system is nearly finished by year-end.
What’s Driving the Year-End Solar Rush in San Diego
California already leads the nation in solar adoption, and San Diego ranks among the top cities in the state. But now the 30% tax credit expiration is fueling a surge in last-minute solar inquiries.
Homeowners are hurrying to:
- Lock in 30% savings on total system costs (including batteries and labor)
- Avoid rising electricity rates from SDG&E
- Reduce blackout risk during fire season with battery storage
- Boost home value before selling
According to recent data from EnergySage and SolarReviews,
installer demand is up over 40% compared to this time last year—and that number is expected to grow even more in the final months of the year.
The Secret to Beating the Clock: Your Energy Pros’ Free Energy Audit
At Your Energy Pros, we know the solar journey can feel overwhelming. That’s why our process begins with a
no-cost, no-obligation energy audit designed to:
- Identify your home’s energy consumption patterns
- Evaluate your roof for solar panel suitability
- Detect inefficiencies in appliances, insulation, or HVAC systems
- Estimate potential solar savings and payback period
This audit isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a strategic roadmap created by engineers to make sure your system is right-sized, future-proof, and financially sound.
Why our audit matters more than ever:
- It allows us to start your paperwork and permitting
immediately
- It fast-tracks system design and installer scheduling
- It ensures you avoid delays from missing data or inaccurate assumptions
If you want solar
this year, this audit is the step that makes it possible.
How Our Fast-Track Process Works
Once your audit is complete, here’s how we help you meet the 2025 ITC deadline:
1. Custom Solar + Battery System Design
We tailor your system based on real energy usage—not guesswork. Our design includes:
- Optimal panel layout based on your roof’s pitch and shade
- Battery storage integration to protect against outages and optimize savings
- Equipment recommendations based on performance, not brand loyalty
2. Quote Review or Installer Matching
Already have quotes from solar companies? We’ll review them side-by-side with our own to ensure:
- Proper sizing and component quality
- Transparent pricing and warranty terms
- Accurate ROI calculations based on your location and usage
Or, we’ll recommend vetted local installers from our trusted network—companies we’ve already screened for quality, speed, and reliability.
3. Project Management from Start to Finish
You don’t have time to chase paperwork. That’s why we handle:
- Permit submissions and follow-ups
- HOA approvals (if needed)
- SDG&E interconnection application and status tracking
- Scheduling and inspection coordination
We take the burden off your shoulders so you can stay focused on your family, business, or holiday pla
4. Ongoing Support with Our ESSP
We also offer long-term support through our
Energy System Services Program (ESSP), which includes:
- Annual performance reviews
- Discounted upgrades and repairs
- Priority service for maintenance
Your solar journey doesn’t end after installation—and neither does our support.
What Qualifies for the 30% Solar Tax Credit?
The 30% ITC applies to any system that meets the following criteria:
- Installed and fully operational by
December 31, 2025
- Located on a U.S. residence (owned, not rented)
- Includes solar PV panels (battery storage is also eligible)
It covers:
- Solar panels, batteries, and inverters
- Racking, wiring, conduit, and monitoring devices
- Labor and permitting fees
- Sales tax
The credit is applied to your
federal income tax and can roll over to the following year if not fully used.
Additional Incentives Still Available in San Diego
Besides the federal ITC, San Diego homeowners may qualify for:
- SGIP battery storage rebates—up to $1,000 per kilowatt-hour
- NEM 3.0 net billing credits for exported solar power
- California solar property tax exclusions
Your Energy Pros will help you maximize all available savings programs and ensure proper documentation.
