As we wrote last week, the Inflation Reduction Act is expected to spur renewable energy adoption and manufacturing in the U.S. This is welcome news since the vast majority of solar panels have long been manufactured overseas, often in less than stellar conditions.

The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act significantly changed electric vehicle (E.V.) tax credits.
