To everyone building with Solo,
As we head into summer, many of you are gearing up for the busiest season of the year and we’re right there with you. It’s an exciting time for solar. Homeowner demand is strong and national adoption is rising fast. But with growth comes new complexity and new opportunities.
Across the country, a wave of compliance regulations is reshaping the way residential solar gets sold. You’ve probably noticed: more policy updates, tighter requirements and rising expectations around what your proposals need to include. These shifts are designed to protect homeowners, increase trust, and strengthen the foundation of our industry as it continues to evolve.
We’re here to help lead you through it.
Our platform is already built for this moment. In recent developments, Utah’s HB0057 is raising the bar for proposal transparency with required specs, energy estimates and financial disclosures. New York’s BESS rules are improving battery safety through stricter fire monitoring and response protocols. In California, SB 379 treats the proposals like a legal contract, with tight oversight of D2D sales and more precise pricing requirements.
Meanwhile, pending legislation in Congress could phase out the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) and the 48E credit for third-party-owned systems by the end of the year. If passed, this would significantly impact how homeowners finance and claim savings on solar energy systems. So, accuracy and timing are more important than ever.
Solo is built to keep you ahead.
We’ve embedded required disclosures, utility rates, and local incentives directly into your workflow, so you don’t need to track policy changes yourself. And we’re actively working with our lending partners to develop financing options that don’t depend on federal tax credits, ensuring homeowners can still access strong ROI in a shifting landscape.
We’ll keep bringing you the updates, tools, and support you need to thrive, no matter what the market looks like. Because building smarter, more resilient solar businesses is how this industry continues to move forward.
Let’s keep building together. We get through this together!
