Why Leasing Is the Safest Path as the Solar Tax Credit Ends in 2025
The 30% federal solar tax credit has been the backbone of the residential solar industry for decades — but it's scheduled to begin phasing out at the end of 2025. For many homeowners, this creates uncertainty: is now the right time to buy? Should you take on tax obligations? What if your tax liability isn’t high enough?
This is exactly where modern solar leases provide unmatched safety and simplicity.
Unlike purchasing solar, leasing eliminates tax risk entirely. GoodLeap and LightReach build the tax credit into your monthly payment structure and pass the savings directly to you — no tax filings, no waiting, no chance of a rejected claim.
Why Leases Are the Lowest-Risk Option for Homeowners in 2025
1. No Tax Liability Needed
If you purchase solar but don’t owe enough taxes, you don’t get the full credit.
With a lease:
No tax liability is required
No multi-year carryover
No risk of misfiling
Savings are built in automatically
This makes it the safest choice for retirees, new homeowners, self-employed individuals, and anyone with variable annual income.
2. Zero Out-of-Pocket Costs
Leases provide:
$0 installation
$0 down
$0 maintenance
$0 inverter replacement cost
$0 monitoring cost
Instead of owning the equipment, you simply pay for the power it produces — at a rate lower than your utility.
3. Guaranteed Energy Production for 25 Years
Your monthly cost stays predictable because GoodLeap and LightReach guarantee system output. If the system underperforms, they compensate you — simple as that.
Compare that to ownership:
You are responsible for maintenance
You pay for repairs
Your energy production is not guaranteed
Leasing removes all performance risk.
4. Fully Transferable When Selling Your Home
With the real estate market shifting, buyers want predictability.
A fully warrantied, fully guaranteed leased solar system is a strong selling point.
Real estate agents report that modern leases:
Increase home desirability
Transfer easily
Do not delay closing
Reduce buyer objections
Provide instant energy savings to the new owner
This is a major improvement from legacy leases, which were often rigid and paperwork-heavy.
