X with suppliers for parts we do not manufacture internally. In addition, during the second quarter of 2024, we concluded that certain parts manufactured by the Company qualify for the section 45X advanced production credits. Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion on how we account for these incentives and amounts recognized for the periods presented. If these financial benefits vary significantly from our assumptions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The OBBB did not modify the phase-out of the section 45X credit or the definitions of eligible components relating to solar trackers; however, the OBBB did impose foreign entity of concern limitations on taxpayers claiming the section 45X credit. Specifically, taxpayers cannot claim the credit in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBB if they are prohibited foreign entities (which are generally entities that are formed in or controlled by covered nations, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as entities determined to be under effective control as a result of contracts entered into with such entities). The credit is also disallowed in taxable years beginning after enactment of the OBBB for eligible components that receive material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity. We are currently analyzing the impact of the foreign entity of concern limitations may have for credits claimed in 2026 and future years.

Uncertainties still exist under this guidance, like whose costs would be used (the manufacturer’s cost, a vendor’s cost to acquire, etc.) and how to define manufactured product components associated with trackers. In May of 2024, the IRS issued Notice 2024-41 setting forth further guidance on the domestic content bonus tax credits, including a safe harbor method for calculating domestic content percentages. On January 16, 2025, the IRS released Notice 2025-08, modifying Notice 2023-38 and Notice 2024-41 as well as introducing an updated elective safe harbor method for use in lieu of provisions of the adjusted percentage rule provided in Notice 2023-38 for calculating the domestic content bonus credit amounts applicable for certain qualified facilities and energy projects. Notice 2024-41 and Notice 2025-08 and the updated definitions described therein have clarified some
