The OBBB and the End of Solar and Battery Tax Credits — Insights From Corey Geiger, COO of Enstall

Welcome to the next episode in our continuing series examining the devastating impact on the solar industry embedded in the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” or OBBB as described in polite terms. We’re interviewing experts in the solar and battery industry throughout the entire value chain. If you’re a homeowner looking for solar, a contractor installing solar and battery systems, or a manufacturer/service provider, this series is for you as you plan for the future.

This week’s guest is Corey Geiger, Chief Operating Officer at Enstall—the largest rooftop solar racking company in the world. Enstall is the parent company of IronRidge, EcoFasten, Quickmount, and PanelClaw. If there’s anyone who understands how to get solar panels on roofs faster, cheaper, and with fewer headaches, it’s Corey. With a background that includes Soligent and Sparq Systems, Corey brings a rare, full-stack view of the industry—from racking and inverters to distribution and deployment.

Corey shares proven strategies for contractors to stay profitable as the 30% residential tax credit disappears. He dives into what you can do now to reduce costs, streamline operations, and differentiate your solar business in a tighter, post-OBBB market. We also cover:

• How to prepare for price increases and product shortages in 2026
• The smart way to handle cash customers, financing, and leases post-ITC
• Why branding, service, and installer stability matter more than ever

Tune into this week’s Energy Show to hear how the most successful contractors are staying ahead—and why the race to complete projects before the end of 2025 could make or break your solar season.
