Timeline for Inflation Reduction Act Incentives
Proposed Changes in the “Big Beautiful Bill” by Senate
• Solar PV projects must begin construction before 2026 to keep its full value of Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
• 30% - Cash Reimbursement Credit for Public Agencies
• Projects that begin in 2026 have 18% Credit
• Ramp down from there
• All EV chargers must be installed within 12 months of the bill's enactment • $100k per facility where EV Charging Infrastructure is installed • The senate version retains the full 30% credit value for BESS into the 2030s • Safe Harbor of 5% of Construction Cost required
