Domestic Content (M1) Submittal & Photo Requirements

Natalie P - Account Operations avatar
Written by Natalie P - Account Operations
Updated over a week ago

The below checklist mirrors LightReach's full internal review process for M1s under the Domestic Content qualifications.

Partners will prove that a submitted Install is qualified through 3 primary ways:

  1. System Details - Manufacturer Part/SKU Numbers

  2. Project Invoice and Bill of Materials

  3. Installation Photos/Material Identifiers

Domestic Content projects will only be approved for install funding if sufficient proof of qualification has been provided. The below items will not be conditionally approved at install review. Partners will need to either provide sufficient proof OR “opt out” of Domestic Content for the project to proceed.

The LightReach team has created a calculator to help confirm if a set of selected parts can be used to qualify for Domestic Content pricing. The tool is intended to be used as a supplement to the LightReach Domestic Content Eligible Equipment list, found in Section D of the Domestic Content- Installer Guide, for material planning and procurement.

If your team needs access to the calculator, please contact your Relationship Manager.

Please take several photos showing closeups of domestic content parts and manufacturer packaging prior to install.

Must be onsite with context. Warehouse/truck photos will not be accepted.

(DC) Site Qualifying

Item:

What We're Checking For:

1

System Details

  • Manufacturer part numbers (SKUs) entered in the install package

  • Be sure to select the correct part numbers for all Domestic Content qualified parts, as applicable (Panels, Inverters & Optimizers, Racking, and Batteries)

2

Invoice / BOM

To be accepted, the submitted document must show:

  1. Project Name and/or Address

  2. Domestic Content part numbers listed on the LightReach AVL

  3. Parts that correspond with the install photos and portal inputs provided

Project Level Invoice from Distributor

-OR-

BOM Document (e.g. from internal tools) and 3rd Party Distributor Bulk Invoice (itemized)

3

Installation Photos

Photos must show the relevant part number, manufacturer placed marking, labeling, or other indicator(s) that show domestic content eligibility.

  • Panels, Inverters, Optimizers, and Batteries - the required photos for these components are largely the same as standard M1 submittals found here.

  • If Racking parts are being used to meet Domestic Content eligibility, multiple new racking photos must be provided. This will vary depending on the manufacturer and parts used, but will include both:

  1. Racking packaging (e.g. rail bundles or box labels)

    AND

  2. Markings on individual parts used (e.g. a mill or extrusion mark on a rail, clamp, etc.)

Warning: If a partner is using multiple Domestic Content racking parts, but they only input one (e.g. Rail only) it will be difficult to confirm Domestic Content eligibility. This will likely result in a rejection.

(DC) System Details

Manufacturer Part Numbers

Be sure to input the correct part numbers for all Domestic Content qualified parts, as applicable (Panels, Inverters Optimizers, Racking, and Batteries)

Panels, Inverters, Optimizers and Batteries – there is no change to the inputs

New Racking Requirements for Domestic Content Projects:

It will now be required to select the mounting hardware and input racking part numbers associated to the correct manufacturer. Partners must input any Domestic Content qualified parts from the following categories (Non Domestic Content parts do NOT need to be entered) under the PV System Section:

  1. Rail

  2. Fastener- Clamp

  3. Fastener- MLEP

  4. Fastener - Splice

(DC) Invoice and Bill of Materials

To be accepted, the submitted document must show:

  1. Project Name and/or Address

  2. Domestic Content part numbers listed on the LightReach AVL

  3. Parts that correspond with the install photos and portal inputs provided

(DC) Install Photos

There are some new photos, especially for racking parts, that will need to be included with Domestic Content install submittals, the identifier is the Part/SKU numbers.

Modules/Panels: (click to expand)

Module Label and Serial Number​

  • Picture of the manufacturer label

  • Additionally, we need a single serial number picture from one of the modules being installed onsite

  • For O&M purposes a single SN helps us track down the lot of modules with the manufacturer, should there be a module level failure or recall

Inverter(s) -or- Micro inverters -or- Optimizers: (click to expand)

Photo of clearly legible model for inverter/micro inverter/optimizer used on site

Racking (click to expand)

  • Required to take multiple photos of racking parts and packaging

  • For details, see racking guide by manufacturer below

Batteries (click to expand)

  • Install photos will be the same as standard M1 Installation Package submittals

  • Detailed list of requirements can be found in Section D under Storage found here.

(DC) Racking by Manufacturer

LightReach has compiled the below manufacturer details. There are many domestic content parts and it may not be exhaustive and is subject to change. When in doubt, take numerous closeup photos of racking parts and packaging.

See guide below for manufacturer specific details:

Unirac Domestic Content products will have a “-US” suffix included on each SKU. There are 2 ways to identify confirm US-made components:

1. MILL ID on extruded components: The MILL ID is a distinct line added to the surface of the extrusion. It appears as a slightly raised or recessed line running along the component, helping trace it back to the source. As seen in the images below, the line is visible on the interior or exterior surface of the component.

2. SM Standard Clamp Visual Inspection
