“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”
― Benjamin Franklin
According to industry officials, U.S. President Joe Biden’s plan to challenge China’s dominance in solar panel manufacturing largely hinges on rules his administration will soon release defining what it means for a product to be American-made. In addition, the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act offers billions of dollars in tax incentives for facilities using American equipment to accelerate the decarbonization of the U.S. power sector while creating domestic jobs.
Congress passed, and the Biden administration signed into law a series of big-ticket items meant to reshape America’s industrial footprint. One of them was the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which offers American consumers and developers significant incentives for purchasing and using energy equipment – whether it’s an electric vehicle, heat pump for your home, or solar panels for your roof – that’s American-made.
The IRA contains a 30% tax credit for renewable energy facilities, with the domestic content bonus worth an additional 10% of the project cost. In addition, the IRA contains several such bonuses, including building projects in disadvantaged communities and adhering to specific labor standards.
The logic is straightforward: Join domestic manufacturing and burgeoning clean tech industries at the hip, and they’ll grow together.
Everyone is waiting for the government to specify which solar panels will qualify as Made in America. And a government update could come as soon as this week.
This is typical of the way laws roll out. A new rule is created, and then the government issues guidance on how everyone can comply. Of course, people want rules for how to follow the rules. That’s exactly what’s happening for solar panel companies, who say they have not seen an IRA-caused sales explosion because the U.S. Treasury Department has yet to issue guidance on the solar panel credit related to domestic manufacturing.
And they’re getting antsy because we’re not talking about small dollars! That credit is substantial.
