Is “end my solar” real
Executive summary
“End My Solar” as a named service or company is not mentioned in the available reporting; instead, multiple industry and consumer outlets report that the federal 30% residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) was ended by legislation in 2025 and that homeowners now face a December 31, 2025 deadline to have systems installed or have qualifying expenditures made to claim it (see SolarReviews, NerdWallet, EnergySage and others) [1] [2] [3]. Sources consistently treat 2025 as the watershed year for the credit’s expiration and warn of a last‑minute rush and changed rules for how projects qualify [4] [5] [3].
1. What reporters are actually saying: the tax credit ended, not a company called “End My Solar”
Coverage across SolarReviews, NerdWallet, EnergySage and numerous industry blogs focuses on the statutory end of the residential federal solar tax credit on December 31, 2025, after the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) was signed into law; these pieces explain eligibility deadlines, paperwork issues, and likely market effects — they do not mention an entity named “End My Solar” [1] [2] [3] [6].
2. The deadline and the technical wrinkle reporters flag
The new law’s deadline is repeated broadly: homeowners must complete installations (or have expenditures made) by Dec. 31, 2025 to claim the 30% credit. Several outlets underline a technical change in language from prior “placed in service” rules to the new requirement that “expenditures [be] made” by year‑end, a distinction EnergySage calls “murky” and that advisers say makes acting sooner safer [3] [7].
3. Consumer urgency and market reaction: installers booking up
Industry and installer sites warn of a surge in demand and long lead times as homeowners try to beat the deadline; trade writers and installers point to months‑long project timelines and recommend starting now if you want to qualify for the credit [8] [5] [1].
4. What changes for leases, businesses and batteries
Reporting notes that the legislative package shifted incentives: for example, third‑party (leased) residential systems and some commercial rules are handled differently under new sections (48E for third‑party), and battery storage eligibility is still discussed in many guides — but the core homeowner 25D credit is what ends on Dec. 31, 2025 [9] [7] [8].
5. How reliable are the sources and what to watch for
The sources here are a mix of consumer finance sites (NerdWallet), specialist solar reviewers (SolarReviews, Solar.com), installer trade blogs, and aggregator consumer guides; they repeat the same legislative outcome and the same deadline, but differ in emphasis — some stress legal technicalities (EnergySage), others focus on sales urgency (installer blogs) [2] [3] [10]. That pattern suggests broad agreement on the central fact while revealing potential commercial incentives to push installations before the deadline [10] [8].
6. Common misreadings and things people invent
Some commercial sites use alarmist language — “last call,” “act now” — which can look like a branded program but is marketing copy linked to the tax‑credit expiry. The specific phrase “End My Solar” does not appear in the collected reporting; available sources do not mention a company or campaign by that exact name (not found in current reporting). Relying on vendor marketing can conflate the statutory deadline with vendor promotions [10] [11].
7. Practical next steps, per reporting
If you own a home and want the credit, sources advise beginning the procurement and permitting process immediately, documenting receipts, and confirming whether your contract or financing counts as an “expenditure made” under the new law — EnergySage and SolarReviews specifically recommend getting systems operational (or at minimum having qualifying expenditures) before Dec. 31, 2025 [3] [1].
Limitations and final note
This analysis uses only the supplied items; it cannot confirm the existence of any private business or campaign named “End My Solar” beyond those sources — the available reporting uniformly covers the 2025 legislative change and consumer warnings, not a program with that name (not found in current reporting).
