Reclaiming the Solar Supply Chain Act of 2023
This bill establishes a federal program to fund U.S. solar component manufacturing through grants, loan guarantees, and direct loans. It targets eligible manufacturers to build new facilities or retool existing ones for producing solar components like panels, inverters, and photovoltaic wafers, with priority given to projects near supply chain partners and those reducing reliance on non-allied nations. The program requires projects to avoid forced labor and non-allied nation sourcing, mandates Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, and includes labor-management cooperation requirements for funded projects. Over $1.9 billion is authorized annually (2024-2028), with at least $20 million yearly reserved for small businesses in economically disadvantaged communities.
