vs what landed
2019 · "Wait for prices to drop"
“Just wait a few years — panels will be way cheaper.”
2021 · "The credit will last forever"
“The 30% federal credit isn’t going anywhere — you have time.”
2023 · "Rates have plateaued"
“Electric rates can’t keep climbing this fast forever.”
2026 · The reality
Panel prices stabilized. Federal credit ended Dec 31, 2025. Rates kept climbing. The wait cost more than the install would have.
They told you
