$SEDG $ENPH $RUN $FSLR Recent reports indicate that MacDonough, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that some energy and environmental provisions included in the Republican reconciliation package violated the Byrd Rule. This ruling means that these provisions would require a 60-vote threshold to pass, rather than a simple majority.
This suggests that Republicans may need to withdraw these provisions or amend their content to comply with the Byrd Rule. If the solar-related provisions were affected by this ruling, they would likely need to be revised to demonstrate clearer budgetary relevance or prove that their impact on the budget is not "merely incidental."
Organizations like the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) have warned that certain provisions in the reconciliation bill could have significant impacts on the U.S. solar and energy storage industries, emphasizing the need for amendments.
