Steps
Confirm the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) moved the Section 30C termination date from Dec 31, 2032 up to June 30, 2026 — property placed in service after June 30, 2026 no longer qualifies, regardless of when it was ordered or begun
For projects nearing completion, document the actual "placed in service" date (not contract/order date), since eligibility turns on that date
For business property, note the credit is 6% of cost (up to $100,000/item), or 30% if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met, but only for property placed in service by the June 30, 2026 cutoff
Check current IRS guidance — FAQs on the 25C/25D/25E/30C/30D/45L/45W/179D modifications under Public Law 119-21, plus the eligible-census-tract FAQ, and the Dec 2025-updated Form 8911 instructions
For any project placing equipment in service after June 30, 2026, remove the 30C credit from the project pro forma entirely — there is no phase-out, it is a hard cutoff
Known gotchas
The June 30, 2026 cutoff has already passed as of this writing (July 2026) — any site-host still marketing 30C eligibility for new installs is out of date; only look-back claims for property placed in service on/before that date are valid
Don't confuse this with the Section 30D (vehicle credit) or 45W (commercial vehicle credit) terminations, which run on different OBBBA-modified dates
