Stan shares Why Solar is a Better Value in 2026 vs. 2025.
In this whiteboard session, Stan Pipkin, CEO of Lighthouse Solar, explains why solar is an even better value in 2026 — even after the federal tax credits expired at the end of 2025.
Thanks to new financing programs and instant savings models, homeowners can now qualify for savings equivalent to a 30% discount without waiting a year or more to receive a tax credit refund. Combined with Austin Energy’s proposed increase to the Value of Solar rate, solar economics in Austin may be stronger than ever.
Watch the video to learn how homeowners can save more on solar in 2026, reduce rising energy costs, and take advantage of new programs that make owning your energy easier and more affordable today.
