Rising Energy Costs, Policy Changes Spur More to Switch to Solar Energy in 2025

SAINT PAUL, Minn., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With a new presidential administration in 2025, Minnesota's leading solar energy installer, All Energy Solar Inc., is urging homeowners to seize the window of opportunity and transition to solar power. A confluence of factors, including rising electricity rates, potential tariffs, and uncertainty surrounding federal incentives, makes 2025 a pivotal year for solar adoption.

"Minnesotans are facing unprecedented energy challenges," says Michael Allen, CEO and Co-Founder of All Energy Solar. "Rising electricity costs are putting a strain on household budgets, and the uncertainty in our economic policies threatens to further destabilize our energy supply. Adding to this, volatile tariffs on imported solar panels and the potential end of net metering could significantly increase costs in the near future."

The Inflation Reduction Act's solar tax credit of 30 percent or more, a crucial incentive for homeowners and businesses, appears to be slated to remain in effect for 2025. However, the potential for tax changes threatens its certainty in 2026 and beyond.

"While the tax credit is a significant benefit right now, there's no guarantee it will survive policy changes," explains Ryan Everhart, Managing Partner at Redpath and Company, Ltd. "We're not sure how long these benefits will remain at today's levels, so reviewing your options sooner rather than later could make a difference between getting the credit and missing out."

All Energy Solar emphasizes that switching to solar offers homeowners and businesses greater energy independence and financial security. By generating their own clean energy, citizens can insulate themselves from volatile electricity price hikes and potential supply disruptions.

"As Minnesota continues to lead the charge toward a more sustainable energy future, utilizing every tool in the toolbox is essential for making solar power accessible. Customer-owned solar is not just a path to cleaner energy, it's a key component of an equitable clean energy future," said Logan O'Grady, Executive Director of the Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA). "The ability to own and benefit from solar energy empowers individuals, strengthens local economies, and provides long-term financial benefits. It's critical that we continue to support policies that make solar energy affordable and accessible for every Minnesotan—fostering a future where clean energy is truly for all."

"Investing in solar now is about more than just saving money," Allen states. "It's about taking control of your energy costs for decades to come and contributing to a more sustainable community. With the potential for increased tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding federal incentives, 2025 represents a critical window of opportunity."
