Safe Harbor + Agrivoltaics Panel Webinar

The 5% test is gone. Supply chains are broken.

But even when you can't put steel in the ground or meet off-site requirements there’s still one creative path to safe harbor your projects: Agrivoltaics.

Join our free webinar to learn: how agrivoltaic infrastructure may save your project, potential qualifying examples you can defend, and steps needed to ensure you can act before July 2026.

On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Treasury issued new guidance that fundamentally shifts how large solar projects qualify for Investment Tax Credits (ITC). Projects over 1.5 MW can no longer rely on the familiar 5% spending test to safe harbor. Instead, they must demonstrate 'physical work of a significant nature' on their sites before July 4, 2026. Delays in panels, racking, and transformers mean thousands of projects are at risk of losing ITC eligibility.

Who Is This For?

- Developers concerned about projects at supply chain risk

- Must pass Treasury’s 'physical work test' to prove beginning of construction

- Deadline: July 4, 2026

The Problem

- 5% spending test eliminated for projects above 1.5 MW

- Must pass Treasury’s 'physical work test' to prove beginning of construction

- Deadline: July 4, 2026

- Over 60 GW of projects and $100B in investment at risk

- Thousands of jobs and community tax revenues threatened

The Opportunity: Agrivoltaics as the Solution

Regulation on what counts has long been subject to interpretation. For those who wish to meet the physical work test, extensive documentation is required to substantiate claims that a component is integral. Extensive additional guidance to the tax code comes from notices such as 2013-29, 2018-59 and 2022-61. We have identified examples of dual-use infrastructure that meet the criteria laid out, with suggested defensible documentation pathways and scientific evidence demonstrating their key role in these complete solar energy systems.

We can help you bring these components forward in your overall construction process, and support you in fully integrating an agrivoltaic plan on your at-risk solar projects.

Act Now: Protect Your Projects

The cost of delay is enormous. The cost of protecting your project is minimal in comparison.
