Upcoming Webinar: Maximizing Solar Tax Credits – Navigating the Start of Construction Rules (Part 1)
September 17, 2019
As solar developers begin looking beyond 2019 and planning for the phasedown of the Section 48 solar investment tax credit, an understanding of the grandfathering rules for projects placed in service between 2020 and the end of 2023 is critical. Developers, investors and lenders will benefit from a focused discussion of the start of construction rules, including the 5% safe harbor and the physical work test.
This will be the first of a two-part series, and the panel will discuss how project developers are structuring deals to satisfy the Physical Work test. The second installment, to be held on October 17th will address the 5% safe harbor requirement. To view the RSVP and invitation click here: https://bit.ly/2lKepF6.
