Solar energy isn’t just about panels on rooftops—it’s about people, progress, and the policies that make it all possible. That’s why we’re paying close attention to a recent joint letter from U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, John Curtis, and Jerry Moran, who underscored the importance of preserving current federal energy tax credits. These incentives are critical to keeping clean energy affordable, encouraging innovation, and driving job creation in the renewable energy sector.
Why Energy Tax Credits Matter
Energy tax credits have long played a pivotal role in helping homeowners and businesses transition to solar power. These credits reduce the upfront cost of installation and make solar a viable option for a wider range of people. But they do more than that—they stimulate economic growth by supporting local jobs, fostering innovation, and helping families and businesses cut down on monthly utility bills.
Without these incentives, solar becomes less accessible, potentially slowing the momentum of one of the fastest-growing industries in the country. That’s why the conversation happening in Washington, D.C. is one that affects us all—from solar installers to customers to the communities we serve.
Amicus Solar Cooperative: Advocating for All of Us
At Ecotech Solar, we’re proud to be a member of Amicus Solar Cooperative, a collective of values-driven solar companies from across the country. Through collaboration and advocacy, Amicus works directly with lawmakers and decision-makers to support sound clean energy policies. They’re a boots-on-the-ground voice for small and mid-sized solar businesses, helping ensure the solar future remains strong and stable.
By actively engaging in the policy process, Amicus is making sure our voices are heard—especially at a time when decisions in Congress could shape the direction of solar for years to come.
What You Can Do
The good news? You can help, too.
Whether it’s calling your representatives, sharing your solar story on social media, or simply staying informed, your voice matters. Every message of support makes a difference. The more we speak up for renewable energy, the stronger our collective message becomes.
At Ecotech Solar, we believe that clean energy should be reliable, affordable, and accessible to everyone. Protecting solar incentives is a big part of that—and we’re grateful to have partners like Amicus working alongside us to protect the future of solar.
