The report explains that developers are trying to get projects started before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act removes the full federal tax credit for many solar projects. That deadline has created a narrow window for customers who want to preserve lower project costs.

For REP, the response is practical: use safe-harbor rules to keep projects eligible while customers decide which sites move forward. The program is especially important for schools, local governments, nonprofits, and community institutions that may need more time to plan.

The article notes that these credits can materially change the economics of a solar project. Losing them can mean higher costs, more complicated financing, and a harder path to clean-energy savings.
