The countdown has begun–homeowners have a golden opportunity to lock in solar savings and receive incentives through tax breaks. Don’t wait until it’s gone.
What’s Changing in 2025–and Why You Can’t Wait
Trump’s proposed “Big Beautiful Bill,” was signed into law July 4,2025 and is expected to make revisions to federal solar programs, threatening to change or eliminate these benefits by the end of 2025.
What Could That Mean for You
- Loss of federal investment tax credits (ITC) worth up to 30% of your system cost unless fully installed and commissioned by December 31, 2025
- Reduction in state-backed solar rebates and performance-based incentives
- Longer Return On Investments (ROI) periods due to less upfront savings
In short, waiting could cost you thousands.
How do You Take Advantage of Solar Tax Incentives Now
ProLux Energy has partnered with the Illinois Shines Program to ease the navigation and purchase of solar panels for residents wanting to take advantage of the current tax incentives while they are still available.
What is the Illinois Shines Program
The Illinois Shines program was established in 2016 by the Future Energy Jobs Act (P.A. 99-0906) and amended in 2021 by the Climate and Equitable Job Act (P.A.102-0662). Thus, the Program itself and various requirements for the Program are enshrined in Illinois Law.
Illinois Shines offers several key benefits for both customers and participating approved vendors. These benefits include:
- Bringing costs for solar installations down through incentives
- Bringing costs of energy down for subscribers to Community Solar projects
- Developing a diverse and inclusive workforce through the requirements of the Climate and Equitable Job Acts
- Offering consumer protection through project approval processes that require project and cost disclosures to be made to customers prior to contracting, as well as providing consumer protection resources
- Vetting and approving vendors and designees that participate in the program
