On November 4, FlaSEIA and FlaSEREF hosted a free Lunch & Learn on one of the biggest questions facing commercial and utility-scale solar installers: how to earn the full 30% Section 48E tax credit.

The base 48E credit is 6%. Projects that meet the prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements earn 30%. In one hour, our speakers explained how PWA works and how the Florida Solar Energy Apprenticeship Program (FSEAP) helps installers meet the apprenticeship rules.

What's covered

• The 48E credit and PWA. Caleb Quaid of Clean Energy Help explains how meeting the PWA requirements raises the credit from 6% to 30%. He also covers what the prevailing wage and apprenticeship rules ask for and what records to keep. PWA applies to projects of 1 MW AC or more.
• Meeting the apprenticeship rules with FSEAP. Colleen McCann Kettles, Penny Hall and Nick Waters of the Florida Solar Energy Apprenticeship Program cover how to enroll apprentices, how the coursework and progress tracking work, and how to use the online platform.
• Live Q&A with all of our speakers, moderated by John Riley of Clean Energy Help.
