Achieving FEOC Compliance: What Every U.S. Solar Buyer Should Know

In this webinar, Intertek CEA’s experts break down the top things every buyer should do to prepare for FEOC compliance — with practical guidance you can turn into action.

As the U.S. solar market races toward 2026, one requirement stands out for project developers and asset owners: building a supply chain that meets the Inflation Reduction Act’s Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules. Access to tax credits — and therefore project economics — now hinges on ensuring that FEOC regulatory requirements are not crossed and FEOC-linked content does not exceed allowable thresholds.

Understanding FEOC is more than reading the legislation. It requires aligning policy interpretation, supplier due diligence, and evidence-based traceability into one coherent strategy. Until final guidance is issued, prudency comes from scenario planning.

Speakers:

  • Christian Roselund, Senior Policy Analyst

  • Paul Wormser, Senior Vice President, Technology

  • George Touloupas, Vice President, ESG & New Services

Energy Storage Summit USA webinar content:

  • What exactly are the FEOC rules, and what do they require?
    A clear explanation of what FEOC means under IRA guidance, where policymakers are still adjusting definitions, and what upcoming rulemaking will mean for procurement in the coming years

  • How can you find suppliers who meet FEOC requirements?

    Learn where FEOC exposure is most likely to appear in module, cell, wafer, and polysilicon supply chains - and how to evaluate supplier pathways, negotiate compliant contracts, and avoid hidden risks.

  • What evidence do you need to prove FEOC compliance?

    Learn how to collect documentation, use traceability audits to validate your supply chain, and how to identify “flags” that indicate a supplier may be linked to restricted entities.

This session brings policy, supply chain, and traceability experts together — giving you clarity, practical steps, and a roadmap to de-risk FEOC exposure before contracts are signed.
