Another finance challenge associated with tax credits that the IRS is slowing.
When a developer completes a solar project, the tax credits must be shifted from the developer to the future asset owner. This transfer must be approved by the IRS. This process, I am told, has been locked up for months.

New from me: Big investment banks are hesitant to offer so-called tax-equity financing to wind, solar and battery projects because of uncertainty over new restrictions on ownership ties to China. It's obstacle for the US renewable industry.
