FAQ
QDoes the IRA's domestic content bonus exclude Chinese inverters?
The IRA 10% domestic-content bonus requires US-manufactured inverters with phased US-origin content. Chinese-brand inverters assembled in US facilities (some Sungrow and CPS lines) can qualify if bill-of-material thresholds are met.
QAre Chinese inverters subject to UFLPA?
UFLPA's rebuttable presumption focuses primarily on polysilicon-derived goods. Inverters with no Xinjiang-sourced components are generally cleared without delay, though CBP can request supply-chain affidavits.
