More House Republicans came forward this week to express their support for preserving Biden-era clean energy tax credits, which are at risk of being cut as the GOP budget plan moves through Congress.

In a letter earlier this week, 21 Republican lawmakers expressed their concern over a potential repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax incentives, citing disruptions to clean energy production and investments in their districts.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has unfrozen grant funding for its Solar for All program, designed to bring the benefits of solar to households in low-income and disadvantaged communities across the country.

The funds being unfrozen is a bright spot in the flood of actions coming from the Trump White House as it tries to withhold funding earmarked for clean energy investments across the country. 

The average American spends roughly 17 hours of their day at home, yet most of us aren’t doing all we can to make sure our homes are safe. No, we’re not talking about deadbolt locks or security cameras—we’re talking about the health risks associated with everyday home appliances.

Most U.S. households still power their home appliances and HVAC systems by burning fuel, despite dozens of studies that found it can be toxic to humans, cause health issues, and lead to increased ER visits.

EnergySage published an open letter to Hollywood on Thursday, urging the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to normalize clean energy through film.

Hollywood has the power to positively influence the clean energy movement in a significant way. 

While government policy plays a critical role in the overall transition to renewable energy, private industries also drive change and set standards. Hollywood, with its vast global reach, has a unique opportunity to shape public perception—that’s why we’ve asked the Academy to help accelerate clean energy adoption by integrating it into films, especially in the face of political attacks.

Many solar professionals praise the Tesla Powerwall 3, and for good reason: It's sleek, powerful, and affordable. But it’s not the only top-tier home battery on the market, which is important right now given Tesla supply shortages…and controversies. 

We announced the winners of our second annual Installer of the Year awards. The 2025 awards program recognizes EnergySage partners who stood above the rest over the past year by consistently exceeding these criteria, delivering outstanding service to EnergySage shoppers, and operating with a high degree of alignment to EnergySage values for trust, transparency, and consumer protection.

For the first time ever, American solar panel manufacturers are capable of meeting the country’s demand. By ramping up domestic solar panel manufacturing, the U.S. is reducing its reliance on foreign companies and strengthening its solar supply chain.

Choosing the best solar panel can feel overwhelming, but it's easier than you think. A quality solar installer will typically install quality solar panels, so your main focus should be choosing the best solar installer for the job—your installer's experience and your solar system's size have a bigger impact on effectiveness. Still, every home is different, and most will benefit from having the most efficient panels on the market.
