Why Domestic Matters: How Universal Renewables Helps You Win with IRA Incentives

Why Domestic Matters: How Universal Renewables Helps You Win with IRA Incentives

Federal policies like the Inflation Reduction Act are pushing for domestic content. With overseas tariffs increasing and long wait times for imported parts, having a local partner like Universal Renewables isn’t just convenient—it’s essential for success.

Inflation Reduction Act Information

The Inflation Reduction Act includes bonus tax credits for installing wind and solar on brownfields, coal communities, and mining sites. To learn more about these incentives and bonuses, see Energy Community Tax Credit. Source: epa.gov

The IRA includes a 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar projects, with additional bonus credits available when certain domestic content and labor criteria are met. These include:

• 10% bonus for using American-made products

• 10% bonus for building in designated energy communities

• Up to 20% additional credits for meeting low-income or affordable housing provisions

To qualify, projects must source U.S.-manufactured components—including racking systems, a critical part of any solar installation.
