US Solar Tax Credit Guidance Sparks Debate Over China Dependence.

The US Treasury Department has issued new rules that will determine who is eligible for production credits and tax incentives regarding solar cells and panels. The new rules mean that the cells used to manufacture solar panels can be made overseas so long as the domestic content cost threshold is met by other components in a facility’s manufactured products. The Solar Energy Industries Association said it was still analyzing the details of Treasury’s announcement, which it said would “spark a flood of investment in American-made clean energy equipment and components.”
