In this week’s episode of The Energy Show with Barry Cinnamon, we break down how the elimination of the 30% residential solar tax credit and new commercial restrictions are shaking up the entire solar industry.

• What the OBBB really means for homeowners and contractors

• Why 2025 might be a record-breaking year for installs — and what happens in 2026 

• How smart solar companies can pivot to full-home electrification 

• The future of TPO, storage, and repowering 

• How to survive and thrive when margins shrink and policies shift 

• The critical role of software, service, and future-proof equipment 

• Why policy (and CALSSA) matters more than ever


Whether you’re a solar contractor, energy investor, or homeowner trying to understand the future of rooftop solar — this conversation has real-world insights from two industry veterans.
