 permitting. If our customers cannot receive permitting for their projects, they are unable to begin and ultimately complete them in a timely manner. A dramatic increase in solar and battery storage sites has increased the average permitting time in many geographies in which our customers operate. 

Impact of IRA 

While solar power is cost-competitive with conventional forms of generation in many U.S. states even without the ITC, we believe step-downs in the ITC have influenced the timing and quantity of some customers’ orders. With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) in August 2022, the ITC was raised to 30% with no step downs before 2032. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025 we do not anticipate the ITC rate to impact our seasonality during that timeframe. If these financial benefits vary significantly from our assumptions or if the program gets changed or repealed during the current legislative cycle, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. 

Section 45X Credit

After a period of uncertainty, on October 24, 2024, U.S. Department of Treasury and the IRS issued final regulations on the section 45X manufacturing tax credit that largely adopted the statutory definitions of torque tube and structural fasteners, which we have determined apply to our components. Beginning in late 2023 and continuing through 2024 and into 2025, we have successfully negotiated, and we continue to successfully negotiate, agreements with key suppliers around sharing the economic benefits of section 45X credits associated with torque tube and structural fasteners. We continue to pursue additional agreements for splitting the economic benefits of section 45X 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. 

Domestic Content Safe Harbor Guidance

The IRS issued Notice 2023-38 in May of 2023 setting forth guidance on the domestic content bonus tax credits under the IRA. Uncertainties still exist under this guidance, like whose costs would be used (the manufacturer’s cost
