The residential tax credit is gone. But the commercial ITC (Section 48E) is still alive — and NuWatt Propel captures it for you. Fixed payments, American-made panels, and full ownership by year 5. No lease. No escalators. No catch.
Three forces are converging right now. Waiting past July 4 could cost you thousands.
Projects must begin construction before July 4, 2026 with American-made components to qualify for the full Section 48E tax credit. After that date, the 30% discount that makes Propel possible may disappear.
Section 25D expired December 31, 2025. If you buy solar outright in 2026, you get $0 back from the IRS. Propel is the only way to capture the 30% credit — through a third-party owner structure.
Maine's CMP rate is up 42% since 2020. Texas ERCOT hit 18% increases over 2 years. Every month you wait, your future savings shrink and your utility bill grows. Lock in a fixed solar payment now.
National installers offer leases where they own your panels for 20-25 years and raise your payment 2-3% every year. Here is how NuWatt compares.
