PF! E24: Solar financing after 25D: What installers need to know for 2026

The U.S. residential solar market is preparing for significant change as the 25D tax credit phases out at the end of 2025. If you’re a solar installer preparing for 2026, this episode breaks down the financing shifts you need to understand — from TPO to loan structures — and how to evaluate your options in a volatile market.

In this live Power Forward session, recorded on the PowerUp Live Stage at RE+ 2025, Chris Crowell of Solar Builder speaks with Josh Tinaglia, Finance Program Manager at BayWa r.e., to discuss what’s next for residential solar financing and how the industry can adapt to the shifting landscape.

Special thanks to SunCast Media for partnering with us and producing this session.

Topics include:

  • What the 25D tax credit sunset means for installers and homeowners

  • Questions to ask your TPO providers
  • The outlook for solar loans, dealer fees, and new finance products
  • Prepaid leases and transferability of tax credits

    Power Up with SimpliPHI: Dive into Briggs & Stratton’s Battery System

    Power Up with SimpliPHI: Dive into Briggs & Stratton’s Battery System

    Last week, one of BayWa r.e.’s newest partners, Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions, stopped by for an informative webinar diving into the advantages of the SimpliPHI 6.6 battery for home energy storage. To learn everything you need to know about the SimpliPHI system, you can watch the entire session below or read on to discover some of the key information we learned directly from Briggs & Stratton product experts.

     

    Who is Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions?

    Sold in over 100 countries, Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions is a Wisconsin-based global leader with several manufacturing facilities in the US. While the company has been in business since 1908, its “latest and greatest” product is the SimpliPHI 6.6 Battery, which debuted in 2024. To date, Briggs & Stratton batteries exceed 500 MWh of installed capacity nationwide.

    Today, Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions works very closely with Sol-Ark, another American manufacturer and BayWa r.e. partner, to help installers deliver quick & easy inverter + backup storage solutions. So while the SimpliPHI 6.6 battery is “inverter-agnostic,” Sol-Ark’s innovative inverters are Briggs & Stratton’s preferred partner for creating highly capable integrated energy solutions for US homeowners.

    Key System Features & Advantages

    With Sol-Ark + SimpliPHI 6.6, you get a flexible and dependable energy storage system that is easy to install and configure with short lead times and the national support of reachable, knowledgeable sales teams. Sol-Ark & SimpliPHI 6.6 systems accept both AC & DC solar power, can be gird-connected or set-up for off-grid, and allow easy generator integration for extra electricity support.  

    Best of all, the modularity of SimpliPHI 6.6 batteries make it incredibly easy to scale energy storage with a simple, stackable bank of hardware. Plus, at 130 lbs. each, SimpliPHI batteries are among the lightest weight in the industry for easy transport and installation. In terms of flexibility, systems can be both ground or wall mounted, placed indoors or outdoors, and extra batteries can be added at the time of initial installation, or later in the future to fit property owners’ growing energy needs.  

      Briggs & Stratton + Sol-Ark

      Bottom Line 

      In short, SimpliPHI 6.6 batteries are an innovative product from a high-quality brand that offer installers a US-based agnostic storage solution easy to integrate, monitor, and scale.
