The U.S. residential solar market is preparing for significant change as the 25D tax credit phases out at the end of 2025. If you’re a solar installer preparing for 2026, this episode breaks down the financing shifts you need to understand — from TPO to loan structures — and how to evaluate your options in a volatile market.

In this live Power Forward session, recorded on the PowerUp Live Stage at RE+ 2025, Chris Crowell of Solar Builder speaks with Josh Tinaglia, Finance Program Manager at BayWa r.e., to discuss what’s next for residential solar financing and how the industry can adapt to the shifting landscape.
