History

Historical Context

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established significant tax incentives for renewable energy, enabling homeowners to claim a 30% tax credit. This led to a 20-fold increase in solar installations by 2015. Currently, Rewiring America aims to maximize these incentives before the 2025 deadline, emphasizing the need for continued federal support to sustain progress in energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption.
