Hoping they clarify the domestic incentive bonus soon as it seems to be a gray area.

We don’t yet have official guidance from the Dept. of the Treasury/IRS on domestic content requirements.

Do you know if installing a system with Qcells would qualify for the additional 10% tax credit bonus for domestic content under the IRA? I’m having a hard time getting an exact answer on this as I’m contemplating installing solar. Thanks

As solar panels become more and more in demand, we will see the increased manufacturing of solar panel components in the United States. We have the opportunity to become leaders in the energy infrastructure transformation, and we should jump on that opportunity!

Also, with all this manufacturing going on, it would be good to hear from the production equipment manufacturers to see how they’re addressing this spike in demand. Are they planning to start making any manufacturing tools (for wafers, cells and modules especially) in the US? What are the order>>delivery lead times for production tooling these days?
