It’s time. We told you we would keep you informed and now we urgently need your voice to support the future of the solar and storage industry.

The SEIA team has been aggressively lobbying on behalf of our industry on HR 1. Over the weekend, we secured two amendments that have been successfully introduced on the Senate floor. While the overarching bill is still problematic for our industry, these amendments are a significant improvement that will make the provisions more workable.

Amendment 2704, Sponsored by Sen. Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Murkowski (R-AK):


Reverts to the Senate Finance Committee language on commence construction and phase downs for solar and wind projects;
Codifies current safe harbor rules for projects that have commenced construction;
Strikes the punitive excise tax;
Eliminates the integrated component restrictions on 45X;
Delays implementation of FEOC material assistance until the end of the calendar year; and
Extends customs user fees through 2035 to fully offset any revenue impact on HR 1.

Amendment 2719, Sponsored by Sen. Hickenlooper (D-CO):


Delays the phasedown of the residential solar tax credit to the end of 2026.

Now that we have secured these amendments, it’s time to call your Senators and tell them to support these amendments.The vote-a-rama will continue into the afternoon with a final vote likely in the early evening

Remember, every voice matters and we need yours today.

When you call, keep the message simple. Vote FOR Amendments 2704 and 2719.

We need you to keep fighting.

Now go make those calls.
