The 30% federal residential solar tax credit will expire on Dec 31, 2025.
The majority of solar projects take months to complete from project submission to completion. Given the short timeframe before the deadline, any projects where BWP did not receive the request to install the performance meter by December 5, 2025 are unlikely to be placed in service by December 31, 2025.

Solar Billing Questions
Do you have questions about how solar billing works? You came to the right place!
Solar is Billed by Net Energy Metering
With Net Energy Metering (NEM), solar customers are eligible to receive a bill credit for any excess generation produced by their solar system and have the credit automatically applied to their account when it is needed.
How Net Energy Metering (NEM) Works
With NEM, your meter runs forward when using energy from BWP and backwards when your solar system is producing more energy than is being used. Excess generation is credited to you and applied to your account at times of low energy generation—like at night when there is no sun.
