Solar Tax Credits: Why Now is the Time to Inspect Your Roof, Siding, and Go Solar!
August 25, 2025

There’s never been a better time to go solar, but before you make the leap, your home’s exterior needs to be ready for it. With federal solar tax credits still offering up to 30% back, many homeowners are scrambling to install solar before the year ends. But here’s what often gets overlooked: your roof and siding must be in top shape before a solar system can be installed. Why? Because once panels are mounted, repairing or replacing roofing becomes more difficult—and costly.

The 30% Solar Tax Credit Won’t Last Forever

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) currently allows homeowners to claim 30% of the cost of a solar system on their federal taxes. But like many incentives, it’s subject to change. If you’ve been thinking about solar, now is the time to act before that credit starts to phase out or adjust under future legislation.

Hidden Damage from Summer Storms Could Derail Your Plans

Midwestern summers often bring intense storms and even if your roof or siding looks fine, hidden damage could prevent a successful solar installation. Hail, high winds, and heavy rains can compromise shingles, flashing, or siding without you even knowing it. That’s where Weathersafe Restoration™ comes in.
