The Big Beautiful Bill Solar’s Make-or-Break Moment

In this episode of The FSG Podcast, host Daniel Litwin, B2B Media Producer, sits down with Michael Cataline, Commercial Solar Projects Lead at FSG, to unpack one of the most talked-about policy shifts in recent energy history — the Big Beautiful Bill. Backed by the Trump administration, this legislation is poised to reshape the commercial solar landscape and redefine how businesses plan their renewable energy strategies.

Cataline brings his years of experience managing and selling large-scale solar projects to break down what’s really at stake. He explains how the bill’s phased reduction of the 30% federal tax credit could be the difference between a profitable solar investment and one that’s out of reach. Together, Litwin and Cataline explore what “starting construction” truly means under the new guidelines, why acting before July 2026 is crucial, and how supply chain and permitting timelines could make or break a project’s eligibility.

Listeners will gain practical insights into navigating approvals, managing utility relationships, and leveraging incentives before they disappear. Cataline also shares tips for identifying reliable solar partners, avoiding fly-by-night installers, and ensuring long-term monitoring and performance.

Whether you manage a facility, own a business, or advise clients on sustainability, this conversation is a wake-up call: the window for maximizing solar incentives is closing fast. Tune in for a grounded, actionable look at how to position your organization for success in solar’s most pivotal moment yet.
