Congress is debating a tax extenders package. The solar industry is pushing for a commence construction clause so that construction for solar projects doesn’t slow in early 2016. At some point we will have to start pushing for the ITC extension because solar is not ready for a drop to 10%. I fail to understand why every energy source should be propped up by development, mining and drilling tax credits while solar has to ‘grow up’. At the next conference, don’t let speakers get away with the thought that ITC could and should drop.
