I have been in the solar industry for 17 years and for me, this is not just about my job: it's about the future of our planet. I am confronted daily with the realities of a new (2025) United States' IRS Code 48e, a well-intentioned but flawed policy about solar photovoltaic Domestic Content requirements for Utility Scale solar projects. 

This code appears to have been written by people who lack a comprehensive understanding of how solar technology works. The main issue at hand is that Code 48e dramatically increases the cost of large utility scale solar installations, creating a formidable barrier for further development and implementation of this crucial renewable energy source. More worryingly, it complicates the installation process, thereby slowing down the pace of renewable energy adoption across the country.

Additionally, Code 48e seems to conflict with standard utility scale solar design, leading to an increase in production losses. At a time when we should be doing everything we can to optimize the efficiency of renewable energy sources, the code is pushing us in the opposite direction.

We must implement policies that encourage the utilization and development of renewable energy, not hinder it. It's time for the IRS to revisit and revise Code 48e in consultation with those who work in the solar industry, and who understand the unique challenges and potentials of this technology. Broaden the conversation, hear our voices, and let's adapt our approach for a greener, cleaner future. We kindly urge all concerned citizens to join us in demanding this necessary change.
