Our recommendation is that we should abandon the sky - is - falling and phantom job loss
tactic, and lobby the administration with several «asks,» that could include: MLP / REIT status for solar companies; fast - track permitting; reducing environmental studies; tax - free manufacturing zones in the interest
of U.S. national security and to revitalize certain cities; a revision
of accounting rules that penalize solar project
owners; federal policy allowing net metering for homeowners and community solar projects; including solar in the upcoming infrastructure spending bill; and finally increased PV deployment on federal
buildings.
