Hello Sun Chasers,
Today, I’d like to cast some light on an exciting development within the world of solar energy – one that not only advances the technology we use to harness the sun’s power, but also makes it more accessible for individuals intent on installing solar panels for their home.
Imagine, if you will, an All Terrain Tracker – a remarkable piece of engineering, designed to fit perfectly to any undulating terrain and capture maximum sunlight. Its complex driveline and articulating components work in unison to provide the optimal positioning for solar arrays for home. But the most exciting part? The manufacturer, Nevados, has reconfigured the production of these All Terrain Trackers to comply with domestic content requirements, making it beneficial for both solar companies and you, the end customer. The company’s commitment is providing an efficient and reliable solution to those who are seeking to make their homes a little greener and a lot more self-sufficient.
Nevados’s decision to go domestic means more than just supporting local manufacturing or shortening the supply chain. By producing torque tubes, structural fasteners, controllers, and rails from American-made steel, the company is priming itself and, by extension, other solar companies to take full advantage of the 10% domestic content tax credit. This is in addition to the base 30% investment tax credit that so many are familiar with. That’s right – as a homeowner, opting for an American-made solar array for your home could see you pocketing a tidy tax saving, all in the name of clean, sustainable energy.
But what, you might ask, does this have to do with you? Especially if you’re considering a home solar array or scouting out various solar companies for an installation. The good news is there’s not just one, but two key takeaways for you.
First, Nevados’s move can be expected to inspire other solar companies to follow suit, effectively creating a more extensive range of domestic-content solar arrays for home. This is exciting news for those considering the transition to solar-powered homes. It diversifies your options and places a wider range of solar solutions within your reach.
Secondly, the emphasis on creating domestic solar solutions creates an excellent opportunity to tap into available credit benefits. For homeowners contemplating solar panels for their home, this incentive might just tip the scales, making it more financially viable and rewarding.
Considering the demand for solar solutions, Nevados plans to ship enough trackers to supply over a gigawatt of solar generating capacity in the U.S. by the end of 2024. Talk about a sunny outlook!
It’s a heartening development to see solar companies, like Nevados, not only invest in revolutionary technology, but also understand the broader implications of increased domestic production on the solar industry, the economy, and importantly, on you. With the light of innovation shining bright, there’s never been a more exciting time to go solar. So, are you ready to join the solar revolution?
‘Til next time, Solar Trackers!
