Why rooftop solar could crash under the GOP tax bill
'This sets us back,' said Ben Airth, policy director for Freedom Forever, one of the country's largest residential solar installers. 'I've been in this industry 22 years and remember when it was only rich people, doomsday preppers and environmentalists installing solar panels on their roofs.' Advertisement One analysis by Ohm Analytics, an energy data firm, estimates that residential solar installations could fall by half next year if the House bill becomes law. Without the tax credits, it would take 17 years, on average, for homeowners to earn back their solar investments. A more pessimistic analysis by Morgan Stanley projects that rooftop solar demand could fall by 85 percent through 2030. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up While Republicans want to curb tax breaks for other renewable energy technologies like wind turbines and large-scale solar farms, the consequences for rooftop solar could be more severe. Rooftop solar can cost two to three times as much per unit of electricity as large solar arrays on farms or in deserts, and the residential industry is more vulnerable to shifts in subsidies. Advertisement The Senate is now writing its version of the domestic policy bill, and solar executives have descended on Washington to plead for a more gradual wind-down of the energy credits. They note that the solar industry employs roughly 300,000 workers and that rooftop systems can help homeowners cut their electric bills. Yet some conservative Republicans have made clear they oppose any restoration of tax breaks for renewable energy. 'Those God forsaken subsidies are killing our energy, killing our grid, making us weaker, destroying our landscape, undermining our freedom,' Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said on the House floor last week. 'I'm not going to have it.' The uncertainty is upending an industry that was already struggling with tariffs and high interest rates. Last week, Solar Mosaic, which provided loans to homeowners to install rooftop panels, declared bankruptcy. On Monday, Sunnova Energy, one of the nation's largest rooftop solar companies, followed suit. Some experts say rooftop solar will eventually rebound, even without subsidies, if electricity prices keep rising around the country, which would make the economics of going solar more favorable. But the adjustment period is likely to be painful, with more bankruptcies and layoffs. 'We're not expecting residential solar to go away,' said Zoë Gaston, a principal analyst for residential solar at Wood MacKenzie, an energy research firm. 'But it will be smaller.' Major tax changes For two decades, Congress has offered tax breaks for people who put solar panels on their roofs. But Democrats supersized those subsidies in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which plowed hundreds of billions of dollars into technologies meant to fight climate change. The law extended the residential solar credit, which allows homeowners to recoup 30 percent of the cost of a solar system they own, through 2032. It also expanded an investment tax credit for companies that build low-emissions sources of electricity like solar and batteries. Advertisement The latter change fueled a boom in solar leasing, in which homeowners don't have to pay the upfront cost of a rooftop solar system that can run $30,000 or more. Instead, a company owns the panels and keeps the tax credits. The homeowner leases the equipment from the company and ideally saves money through lower energy bills. More than 50 percent of home solar systems are now financed this way, and the rise of leasing has made rooftop solar more accessible to less-wealthy households, as well as to schools, hospitals and small businesses. The House Republican bill would terminate the residential solar tax credit by the end of 2025. And, in a last-minute change pushed by fiscal conservatives, solar leasing companies would be immediately ineligible for the investment tax credit. The House bill would also forbid companies from claiming the tax credits if they use components from China, which dominates solar supply chains. Because that provision is so broadly written, many companies say it would effectively make the credits unusable. 'Catastrophic is a fair way to describe the industry impact' of the House bill, said Gregg Felton, CEO of Altus Power, which develops solar projects on rooftops and parking lots. If Congress slashed support for renewable energy, experts said companies would continue investing in large-scale solar arrays, since even without subsidies those plants are often one of the cheapest ways to generate additional electrons. Rooftop solar, which is costlier and requires more labor, faces greater risks. Advertisement Kenny Pfannenstiel, the chief operating officer at Big Dog Solar, an Idaho-based solar installation company, said that rooftop solar has lately grown popular in newer markets like Montana and Idaho. 'We see a lot of interest from people who want to control their own energy future, or who worry about the grid being available when they need it,' Pfannenstiel said. Once the tax credits were expanded, he said, 'the economic argument for those customers to install solar and battery systems became a lot stronger.' If the credits vanished, some customers might still want panels, he said, but the market 'would shrink drastically.' The ripple effects could be significant. If solar leasing companies go bankrupt, customers could be left in the lurch, with no one left to service their panels. Thousands of installers and electricians would find themselves out of work. More than three dozen solar factories have opened in the United States in recent years, but some could shutter if demand slows. A debate over rooftop solar The fight over tax credits in Congress isn't the only challenge facing rooftop solar. While the technology remains popular with homeowners, some states have started pulling back support amid a barrage of criticism. Electric utilities and some analysts say that rooftop solar users raise costs for everyone else, because solar households pay less on their monthly utility bills but still rely on the broader grid for backup power. That shifts the cost of maintaining the grid to other households, which are often low-income. (Solar proponents disagree, saying that utilities ignore many benefits of rooftop panels, such as avoided transmission costs.) The fight has been especially fierce in California, the country's biggest rooftop solar market. In 2022, regulators slashed the compensation that new solar households could receive for the electricity they produce. In the months that followed, rooftop installations fell 85 percent statewide, straining installers, manufacturers and distributors. Advertisement Even now, some officials are looking to cut support further, including for existing homes. 'We have to reevaluate how our current solar subsidy programs impact Californians who may not be able to afford solar-panel systems,' said Lisa Calderon, a Democratic state lawmaker. The rise in interest rates has further squeezed the rooftop solar industry, by making it more expensive to borrow money to finance new installations. The Trump and Biden administrations also increased tariffs on solar components from China, which aids domestic manufacturers but makes panels more expensive. 'At some point our industry can and should be able to function without tax credits,' said Chris Hopper, co-founder of Aurora Solar, a software company that designs home solar systems. 'I do think we could get on board with a phase-down of these credits over an appropriate time period that gives us time to figure out how to find efficiencies and lower costs.' 'But an overnight change would be devastating,' Hopper said. 'It's just not possible to adapt that quickly.' This article originally appeared in .

CFTC nominee Quintenz seeks to leverage crypto expertise
This story was originally published on Banking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Banking Dive newsletter. Brian Quintenz, the nominee to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, emphasized the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets. In his prepared remarks for the Senate hearing Tuesday, he noted his plans to use his expertise in digital assets to develop regulations and execute any expanded mission. 'Congress should create an appropriate market regulatory regime to ensure that this technology's full promise can be realized, and I am fully prepared to use my experience and expertise to assist in that effort as well in executing any expanded mission should legislation pass into law,' Quintenz said in remarks prepared for his hearing, seen by Bloomberg. Quintenz, nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the CFTC, served as an agency commissioner during Trump's last term. Quintenz headed to venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz after his term ended, becoming an adviser in 2021. Since December 2022, he has led the firm's crypto unit. He is also a board member of financial exchange firm Kalshi and an advisory council member of If confirmed for the CFTC role, the crypto lobbyist said he plans to leverage his expertise while meeting international regulators to gain insights into approaches that have been successful. He touted blockchain as a 'horizontal technology' that can impact different sectors of the economy, not just financial services, according to The Block. 'Blockchain and crypto tokens are here to stay and will allow individuals to own their digital intellectual property, their digital identities, and the value of their contributions to networks,' Quintenz said, saying clear rules and market integrity are needed for maintaining U.S. leadership in blockchain innovation. The Trump administration is pushing for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, bipartisan legislation introduced May 29 by House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, R-AR. The bill aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the U.S., with significant expansion of the CFTC's authority. Typically, the CFTC has focused on derivatives and commodities enforcement rather than direct consumer-focused regulation. The act would make the CFTC a primary regulator for most of the crypto industry, and establish a clear distinction between the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the CFTC. Quintenz has been nominated as a commissioner twice: first by President Barack Obama in 2016 and then by Trump in 2017, when he was confirmed and served from 2017 to 2021. His current nomination is his first for the chair position – the agency's leadership role. The commission, until the end of May, had four members, evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. Former Commissioner Summer Mersinger, a Republican, announced in May that she would leave the CFTC at the end of that month to become the chief executive of the Blockchain Association. Christy Goldsmith Romero, a Democrat, days later announced her plans to leave the CFTC on May 31 and retire from federal service. Acting Chair Caroline Pham, a Republican, has said she would step down once Quintenz is confirmed to lead the regulator. Kristin Johnson, a Democrat, has also said she's leaving the CFTC later this year. Last month, Quintenz disclosed assets worth roughly $3.4 million and his positions in some important crypto industry groups, according to Bloomberg. If confirmed, Quintenz plans to resign from his position at Kalshi and forfeit his stock options, which vest every month. He would abstain for a year on matters related to Kalshi. In May, the CFTC dismissed its appeal in litigation over Kalshi's event contracts for political outcomes, including options to bet on Republican and Democratic presidential nominees in 2028. The CFTC had said the decision to drop the case was voluntary. Quintenz would also resign from his post at Andreessen Horowitz and recuse himself from participating in any event related to the company for two years, if confirmed to the CFTC. He has already resigned from his position with the Crypto Council for Innovation.

Trump wants ‘big beautiful' spending bill passed ASAP. So why is Mike Johnson still messing with it?
House Speaker Mike Johnson notched his first major policy win when he herded Republicans in the House of Representatives to pass President Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' last month. By all appearances that began the process of the Senate deliberating its version of the legislation and dealing with holdouts in the upper chamber. All the better to get the signature legislation of Trump's second term onto his desk and ready for that famous Sharpie signing. Well, not so fast. The legislation technically has not been sent over to the Senate yet. Today, the House will vote on a rule that would also include a provision to make various corrections to the spending bill. The fixes are fairly minute. There is nothing on the changes to Medicaid, the size of the tax cuts or the phasing out of renewable energy tax credits or other concerns that some Republican Senators have raised. It also does not remove the ban on states regulating artificial intelligence that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she opposed despite her vote for the bill. Rather, they are mostly technical fixes, striking out various paragraphs about formatting. But that means the clock had not yet even started on the Senate's formal consideration of and debate over OBBB as Wednesday dawned. Later Wednesday, the corrected version was expected to be passed ... again ... and finally handed over to the Senate. The road to get here in the first place was circuitous at best. It ultimately took a day-long committee hearing, a last-minute deal cut behind closed doors and the deaths of older Democratic colleagues for Johnson to avoid a failure on the floor the first time around. The bill includes numerous provisions that Trump and Republicans want, such as extending the 2017 tax cuts, enacting work requirements for food assistance and Medicaid, rolling back numerous renewable energy credits and ramping up spending for oil drilling, the military and immigration enforcement. The Senate hopes to pass OBBB using budget reconciliation, which allows them to avoid a filibuster from Democrats as long as the bill relates to federal spending. Since 'big beautiful' also includes a debt limit increase, Republicans are working on a limited time table as the United States is set to hit the debt ceiling next month. Elsewhere, it removed the word 'intelligence' for a provision to spend '$90,000,000 for the development of reusable hypersonic technology for military strikes and intelligence.' It also struck a whole section titled 'Enhancement of Military Intelligence Programs.' Furthermore, the legislation removes part of the reconciliation bill that retracts a Biden administration-era public land rule that withdrew National Forest System lands from mining. Unsurprisingly, Democrats in the House and Senate are urging their Republican counterparts to, as Elon Musk famously implored, 'Kill the Bill.' 'The bottom line is this, though: a congressmember's core power is the power to vote,' Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in his morning remarks. 'That's what the Constitution gave them,' Schumer said. 'And House Republicans who say they don't like the bill should exercise that power today. They have a unique opportunity to make the very changes they've been talking about for weeks.' Schumer said that Democrats flagged the flaws in the language that caused the do-over. Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, also sent a letter to his colleagues calling for them to kill the bill. 'Regardless of party, if you have sounded the alarm about this bill and vote yes on today's rule, you're complicit in what you claim to oppose,' he said. Most of these are technical changes, but they illustrate just how delicate of a process Republicans have to navigate to pass Trump's signature legislation. And that does not even begin to paper over the legitimate policy disputes between the House and Senate conference or even within the conferences about federal spending levels.
