Unfortunately, Congress and the White House were unable to agree on including an extension of the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) in an end-of-year tax package, meaning the credit will decrease in 2020. Though we are disappointed by this missed opportunity to protect an incredibly successful policy, we remain hopeful for the future and continuous growth of solar and storage across the country.

US Lawmakers Stiff Solar Power, Wind Gets Modest Victory in Tax Deal
After months of lobbying, the clean energy industry secured minimal tax credit extensions in the $1.37 trillion end-of-year deal U.S. lawmakers eked out this week to fund the government in 2020.
Of the possible clean energy tax extensions that could have been stuffed into the spending bill, wind was the only winner, and the industry secured just one extra year of incentives.
