Senators say that the US Senate is adjusting the language regarding rooftop solar in its budget bill.

Kevin Cramer, a senator from the United States Senate, said that they are working to adjust a tax credit for residential rooftop solar energy which had been removed in both versions of the House of Representatives' and Senate Finance Committee's versions.

Cramer is a Republican and he serves on the Senate Energy Committee. He told reporters "there are discussions" about rooftop solar in the context of the discussion on how to fix the language regarding the future Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credits for Clean Energy Projects.

He said that, in general, the Senate's version "might be a little bit more generous" than the House's.

The groups representing renewable energy users and producers have made a last minute push in the Senate for better language in the Senate appropriations text for the section of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax and spending package that deals with the phase-out IRA tax credit for clean energy. This is before the bill goes to a vote sometime next month.

Cramer stated that senators are currently working to adjust the "off-ramp" for the phase-out of tax credits which was abrupt in the version passed by the House.
