SunCast Episode 870: How FEOC Rules Are Reshaping Solar Procurement

“Is your project really compliant?”

That’s the billion-dollar question developers across the U.S. are asking as Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules tighten their grip on clean energy tax credits. If you are (were) banking on the ITC, PTC, or 45X, you can’t afford to miss this Tactical Tuesday deep-dive.

The rules are shifting. Supply chains are murky. And guidance is still evolving. Host Nico Johnson pulls together an expert panel to decode how FEOC is reshaping the way projects are sourced, engineered, financed, and papered across the U.S. solar and storage market.
