(DC) Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 boosts residential solar projects with an extra 10% ITC for using U.S.-made materials. Revamped IRS guidance now makes it easier to qualify via inverters and racking and storage.
Lightreach offers the ability to enroll in the Domestic Content (ITC-DC). This process is optional for qualified certified installers, and will require specific parameters (see details below) to be met to be eligible for domestic content benefits. It is important to note that the Domestic Content AVL is subject to change, and will require strict adherence.
To be eligible for domestic content pricing, the equipment selected on the install must meet 40% domestic content value.
(DC) Certified Installer Enrollment
Who is Eligible to Enroll:
To be eligible to participate in the Domestic Content program, your organization must be a Platinum or Elite level LightReach partner.
What is Required to Enroll:
Addendum signature
BOM (Bill of Materials) example that Installer intends to use
Sales Forecast
Enrollment Expectations:
Installer must be in good standing with LightReach, including install approval rates and compliance.
LightReach will review requests in the order in which they were received. This process may take a few days. Partners should review status updates on their ticket.
Out of fairness to all partners on the platform, LightReach support cannot expedite enrollment requests.
(DC) Quoting and Pricing
All sales will follow typical M0 Guidelines to receive NTP.
After an organization has enrolled in ITC-DC, distinct domestic content pricing will appear in the quoting tool when creating a quote. Once the quote has been created for a project, it will resemble the image below in the quoting tab:
The "DC Boost" will specify the pricing for a project where ITC-DC equipment is installed and the project reaches the 40% domestic content value threshold.
The quote will also display the "Non-DC price" or the pricing the project will revert to should the installer not enroll to pursue ITC-DC on the project.
(DC) Eligible Equipment
Equipment that will qualify for domestic content eligibility is listed below (and appears on our traditional AVL) percentage and qualification will be determined by the use of the calculator issued. To be eligible for domestic content pricing, the equipment combination used on the install must meet the 40% domestic content value threshold to be eligible. Equipment eligibility is subject to change.
Upon completing the onboarding process for Domestic Content, each partner will receive a calculator from their Relations Manager to assess a system's qualification for Domestic Content.

(DC) Attestation
Organization “enrollment” for Domestic Content is for 100% of projects. However, an EPC will confirm at the Install Milestone submission (on an individual account level) if domestic content was used.
Organizations will complete a Price Attestation at M1 submission, where the org must indicate whether the installation is ITC-DC.
Yes, ITC-DC was used = Install will be reviewed for ITC-DC requirements
No, ITC-DC was not used = Install will be reviewed as a standard review + pricing will adjust back to standard "Non-DC price" amounts.
How Will This Appear in the Portal?
Prior to beginning the M1 Installation submission, Installers will indicate if the project is ITC-DC:
When finalizing your submission for M1 Installation review if the project is ITC-DC eligible, you will confirm this prior to the submission:
(DC) M1 Requirements
Outside of the standard M1 Submission Package Deliverables and Photosets required at the M1 Installation Milestone, organizations will need to provide additional documentation that a submitted Install is qualified for Domestic Content pricing and benefits.
For more information & sample examples on these requirements and deliverables, view our resource guide below:
FAQ
1 | Is Domestic Content Mandatory? | No, the program is optional |
2 | My Org is enabled with GreenTech Direct pay, can we participate in Domestic Content? | Yes. |
3 | How do I Enroll? | Please see our advanced preview for how to enroll in Section B |
4 | If I'm enrolled, but my team sells in an external sales portal, how do I view ITC-DC values? | External sales portals, such as Solo, will display the ITC-DC values (higher values).
Both ITC-DC and standard values are visible in the LightReach portal for convenience. |
5 | How can I calculate whether my project is eligible for Domestic Content? | The LightReach Domestic Content Eligible Equipment list (detailed above in Section C) will be the primary resource to confirm if a set of selected parts can be used to qualify for Domestic Content pricing.
If you need access to the LightReach Domestic Content calculator, a supplementary tool to help with assessing whether selected equipment combinations are ITC-DC pricing eligible, please contact your LightReach relationship manager. |
6 | Will Domestic Content projects receive conditional approvals? | Domestic Content projects will NOT be conditionally approved at install. Partners will need to either provide sufficient proof OR “opt out” of Domestic Content for the project to proceed. |
7 | What % do I need to achieve to have a project qualify for ITC-DC? | At this time, a 40% domestic content value threshold is required to be met, but installers should bear in mind that this number is subject to change. |
8 | Will Storage selection provide an additional boost on ITC-DC pricing? | This will be a future functionality of the LightReach Domestic Content program, but is not live at present. |
9 | Can multiple manufacturers be used with racking? | No, mixed mounts will not be allowed. All racking components used on any given site must be from the same manufacturer. |
