Solar financing after 25D: What installers need to know for 2026 | Power Forward
The residential solar market is heading into major changes as the 25D tax credit sunsets at the end of 2025. What comes next for financing, installers, and homeowners?
In this live Power Forward session recorded on the PowerUp Live Stage at RE+ 2025, Solar Builder’s Chris Crowell sits down with Josh Tinaglia, Finance Program Manager at BayWa r.e., to unpack the outlook for residential solar financing. Thanks to SunCast Media for letting us have the time, and for producing this video. Topics include:
What the 25D tax credit sunset means for installers and homeowners
Why third-party ownership (TPO) will play a bigger role starting in 2026
Questions to ask your TPO providers
The outlook for solar loans, dealer fees, and new finance products
Prepaid leases and transferability of tax credits
The uncertainty of FEOC rules and domestic content requirements
The impact of cancelled programs like Solar for All and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
If you’re a solar installer preparing for 2026, this episode breaks down the financing shifts you need to understand — from TPO to loan structures — and how to evaluate your options in a volatile market.
