Reclaiming the Solar Supply Chain Act of 2023

The Reclaiming the Solar Supply Chain Act of 2023 creates a federal program to fund U.S. solar manufacturing. It authorizes $600 million annually (2024-2028) for grants and direct loans to private companies building or expanding facilities that produce solar components like panels, inverters, and key materials (e.g., solar-grade polysilicon and wafers). The program prioritizes projects reducing reliance on Chinese-made components, creating jobs in disadvantaged communities, and requiring compliance with prevailing wages and labor-management cooperation rules. It explicitly prohibits funding for projects using forced labor or sourcing from non-allied foreign nations.
