The recent passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OB3) rapidly phases out solar tax benefits and adds new restrictions for houses of worship and other nonprofits who want to go solar. An executive order signed shortly after the OB3’s passage could place further restrictions on solar project viability.
On Thursday, August 7, 2025, CollectiveSun joined the Interfaith Solar Campaign, Green The Church, and California Interfaith Power & Light for a webinar to chart a path forward for houses of worship to achieve their clean energy goals — if they act now.
In this webinar, we shared a policy update and then provided a roadmap for how your organization can navigate these changes to advance your clean energy project. We covered:
- What OB3 means for nonprofit solar projects.
- What’s changing.
- What’s staying the same.
- How you can still benefit from substantial savings with solar.
- Developments to watch in the coming weeks.
