Technical delivery

• Analyze credit eligibility - assess clean energy credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), including Sections 48E, 45Y, 45X, 45Z, 45Q, 45V, and 45U, along with legacy Sections 45 and 48.
• Build the beginning-of-construction record - support physical work test and five percent safe harbor positions, continuity, and the underlying documentation, with an awareness that the governing guidance remains unsettled and positions may need to be supported on more than one basis.
• Apply the prohibited foreign entity (PFE) rules - run material assistance cost ratio (MACR) computations, gather and assess supplier certifications, and trace costs under current guidance.
• Evaluate bonus credit criteria - prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA), domestic content, energy community, and low-income community - and help maintain the supporting record.
• Support credit monetization - work transferability under Section 6418 and elective (direct) pay under Section 6417, including buy- and sell-side diligence, pre-filing registration, transfer election statements, and closing deliverables.
