As part of the renewable energy GST 2025 update, India's GST 2. 0 package reduced the GST rate on renewable-energy devices and parts — notably solar panels, inverters, wind generators and related components — from 12% to 5%, effective 22 September 2025.
While summer months are popularly assumed to be best for solar panel installations, spring offers great benefits than other seasons. It's no secret that solar energy systems work perfectly even in regions with heavy clouds and low temperatures: Spring months are convenient and.
Solar has its peak production during the summer, summer has the longest days and the highest sun angle than other seasons, making for increased solar energy production.
Effective April 1, 2026, China will eliminate value-added tax (VAT) export rebates for photovoltaic (PV) products, including solar cells, modules, inverters, and related components. This follows a prior reduction from 13% to 9% in December 2024.

As of 2025, the federal ITC provides a 30% tax credit for qualified commercial solar installations. This rate is scheduled to remain at 30% through 2032, after which it will step down to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034.
A taxpayer that places a qualifying renewable energy project (such as a solar photovoltaic array) into service in the course of a trade or business is generally permitted to claim ITCs equal to 6 percent of the tax basis of that project. 1 The amount of ITC increases to 30 percent.
The applicable percentage is a two-tier structure of a base rate of 6%, and an alternative rate of 30% (provided the taxpayer meets the wage and workforce requirements, the project is less than 1 MW or the project began construction prior to January 29, 2023).
During peak summer months (July to August), your solar panels will typically produce the most energy. As we move into the colder seasons, production can decrease by 40-60%, especially in areas that see more cloudy days.
