Why consider switching to solar in 2022, though? Here are a few reasons to make the jump. Emerging technology in the solar sector has been predicted to significantly reduce solar energy costs this next year, with experts claiming the cost of solar will [drop another 25% by 2022](https://futurism.com/the-cost-of-solar-will-drop-another-25-by-2022). This is excellent news for homeowners wanting to install a rooftop solar PV system while reaping the maximum benefits and financial incentives available. Federal financial incentives are available through the end of 2022 as well, providing a 26% tax credit for installed solar PV systems. A reduced tax credit of 22% can be claimed through the end of 2023 and then expires in 2024, making 2022 truly an optimal time to switch to solar. To determine if you are eligible to claim the federal solar tax credit, visit [energy.gov](https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/homeowners-guide-federal-tax-credit-solar-photovoltaics). With solar energy prices reaching all-time lows and the U.S. Congress extending the ITC expiration date, homeowners have elected to install solar panel systems at startling rates. As a result, job opportunities in the solar installation industry have skyrocketed. This is good news for the industry as the surge in individuals switching to solar allows for more jobs to be created. Another benefit of the increase in people utilizing solar as their primary energy source is that we can make more significant strides toward protecting the environment and preventing climate change. A [recent study](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/10/solar-panels-half-the-world-roofs-electricity-research/) found that if half of the world’s rooftops were covered with solar panels, we could meet our annual electricity needs – so are you ready to make the switch?
