Silfab’s solar manufacturing plant in Washington.
Silfab Solar has announced the sale of up to $110 million Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits.
The sale of these credits generates incremental investment funds for Silfab to continue its important expansion efforts for American production of solar energy components for commercial, utility and residential applications.
“Silfab Solar is a proven manufacturing leader in the United States, especially with our investment in the production of American-made solar cells. The 45X production incentive remains a formidable and necessary tool to bring manufacturing into the United States,” said Paolo Maccario, CEO and president of Silfab.
The transferable tax credit market allows clean energy manufacturers like Silfab to transfer their tax credits to third parties for immediate payment — creating a powerful market mechanism to channel private sector reinvestment into advanced manufacturing and added capacity to meet the growing demand for US-made solar technologies.
“Silfab is deeply committed to the country’s desire for energy independence, which we are achieving through production of our high-quality, powerful solar modules along with the creation of hundreds of good-paying jobs for Americans,” Maccario said.
BDO USA served as the tax credit transfer advisor on this transaction. BDO’s Business Incentives & Tax Credits practice assists clients in the generation, compliance and monetization of tax credits.
