(ITC-DC) Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 boosts residential solar projects with an extra 10% ITC for using U.S.-made materials.
LightReach offers the option to enroll in the Domestic Content (ITC-DC) program. This process is optional for qualified installers and will require specific parameters (details below) to be met to be eligible for domestic content benefits. It is important to note that the DC Eligible Equipment is subject to change and will require strict adherence.
To be eligible for domestic content pricing, the equipment selected on the install must meet 45% domestic content value.

(ITC-DC) Quoting and Pricing
All sales will follow typical M0 Guidelines to receive NTP.
After an organization has enrolled in ITC-DC, distinct domestic content pricing will appear in the quoting tool when creating a quote. Once the quote has been created for a project, it will resemble the image below in the quoting tab:
The "DC Boost" will specify the pricing for a project where ITC-DC equipment is installed and the project reaches the 45% domestic content value threshold.
The quote will also display the "Non-DC price" or the pricing the project will revert to should the installer not enroll to pursue ITC-DC on the project.

(ITC-DC) Milestone Attestation
Organization “enrollment” for Domestic Content is for 100% of projects. However, an EPC will confirm at the Install Milestone submission on an individual account level if domestic content was used.
Organizations will complete an Attestation at M1 submission, where the org must indicate whether the installation used Domestic Content or not.
Yes, ITC-DC was used = Install will be reviewed for ITC-DC requirements
No, ITC-DC was not used = Install will be reviewed as a standard review + pricing will adjust back to standard "Non-DC price" amounts.

Outside of the standard M1 Submission Package Deliverables and Photosets required at the M1 Installation Milestone, organizations will need to provide additional documentation that a submitted install has qualified for Domestic Content pricing and benefits.
