However, Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; ends the homeowner-claimed tax credit at the end of 2025, and not all homeowners will be in a position to purchase and install before it&#8217;s gone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting in 2026, the only way to have a solar array benefit from the 30% tax credit (plus depreciation) is to have a business claim it against Section 48E of the tax code\u2014o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r to say it a different way, to enter into a Third-Party Ownership (TPO) contract via lease or PPA. Let&#8217;s break down the pros and cons of third-party ownership and how to ensure you enter the best agreement for your energy goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Solar-tax-credits-25D-and-48E-with-OBBB-as-law.png\" alt=\"Solar tax credits with the One Big Beautiful Bill signed into law\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to learn more about the benefits of buying versus leasing solar? The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team has done extensive analysis on this, and you can read all about it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solar.com\/learn\/solar-lease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pros and Cons of Third-Party Owned Solar<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like anything, there are pros and cons to entering into a TPO arrangement versus owning a solar array outright. Prior to OBBB, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> analysis was that for most homeowners it was better to own vs lease. But having access to the tax credit after 2025 certain changes that math.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Advantages of TPO Solar<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party owned leases and PPAs aren\u2019t all bad; in fact, they provide several benefits and advantages (beyond just being able to capture the tax credit). They inherently remove a lot of the risk of going solar. The third-party owner is responsible for the ownership and operation of the system, including maintenance. This theoretically removes a lot of the potential hassles and headaches homeowners are concerned about in going solar\u2013especially with anticipated changes in suppliers&#8217; ability to access and remain competitive in the US market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also have much stricter compliance controls related to sales practices. A basic tenet of a lease or PPA is that they\u2019ll sell you power from your roof at a lower rate than the utility. This inhibits the ability of an unscrupulous salesperson from charging exorbitant fees. And since the TPO retains ownership of the system, they have a vested interest in ensuring proper installation practices are adhered to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Disadvantages of TPO Solar<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disadvantages of TPOs are mainly around system economics and availability. The investor\u2019s rate of return on the array they own on your roof typically represents the lost savings by not owning the solar array outright. But a well-structured TPO ensures everyone wins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other big downside to a TPO is that they can present challenges with buyouts if you ever want to end your contract early or sell your house. While most offer TPO transfers to subsequent owners, this is at the discretion and approval of the TPO provider and not guaranteed. Some homebuyers may not want to deal with a TPO arrangement, which can inhibit your potential homebuyer pool or force you to reduce the value of your home\u2019s price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This disadvantage is rooted in the way TPOs work. They claim the tax credit and depreciable basis on a formula that considers the \u201cstep-up value&#8221; of the array. This step-up value goes beyond the cost to construct it and also includes the net present value of its future energy yield, less operation and maintenance expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So a 10kW solar array might cost $25,000-$30,000 to build, but in a TPO the step-up cost basis might be $50,000-$60,000. This is why many homeowners who go to buy out their leases are shocked at the high costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also an IRS rule related to the tax credit recapture, which doesn\u2019t allow the tax equity investor to exit the project ownership structure in the first five years. Although this doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t allowed to sell your house, it does restrict your ability to buy out the array early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Check This One Thing on Your Solar Lease or PPA Contract<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two \u201cflavors\u201d of PPAs and Leases &#8211; ones with a fixed rate of power (either a monthly flat rate in a lease or a flat kWh rate in a PPA) and ones that offer a lower upfront rate but that \u201cescalate\u201d or increase annually. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> highly recommends selecting the flat rate PPAs and Leases to lock in savings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is it Worth Signing a TPO Contract?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s recommendation is for homeowners considering TPO solar to wait until 2026. Allow homeowners who want to capture the tax credit access to installers and equipment to help them bring their projects online in 2025. As the industry is forced into TPOs in 2026 (thanks to the OBBB), we\u2019ll likely see some financial innovation in these deal structures, which will offer greater value to homeowners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Final Note<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> editorial team has gone to great lengths to provide accurate and approachable information.
