Uncertainty Grows for Federally Backed Renewable Energy Incentives

President Donald Trump recently signed the “Unleashing American Energy” executive order, which has introduced significant changes to the energy landscape. This executive action, while heavily focused on boosting fossil fuel production, also includes a temporary pause on disbursements from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that supported renewable energy projects. At Green Convergence, we’re here to help you understand what these changes mean for you and your solar energy goals.

What This Means for Solar Energy

While the executive order primarily targets sectors like wind energy and electric vehicles, solar energy—a critical component of America’s clean energy future—is not explicitly addressed. This means that federal incentives for solar could face delays or adjustments. However, legal experts have noted that halting funds already approved by Congress, like the 30% ITC, may be difficult, suggesting that many existing incentives might still be accessible for now.

State and local programs remain unaffected, providing valuable support for solar adoption. This is excellent news for homeowners and businesses in California, where state-level incentives have always been strong and reliable.

Why Now is the Time to Act

If you’ve been considering solar energy for your home or business, there’s no better time to act. Uncertainty at the federal level highlights the importance of taking advantage of existing incentives while they’re still available. By transitioning to solar energy now, you can lock in savings, increase your energy independence, and contribute to a cleaner environment—all while benefiting from financial incentives.

Additionally, solar technology is more efficient and affordable than ever before. Paired with California’s net metering policies and local rebates, installing solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills and increase the value of your property.
