Know Your Credits
Before You Build
AI-powered site scoring for Section 48C, Section 45X, and energy community investment tax credits. Most operators leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table because nobody ran the numbers before ground broke.
The Numbers
A $1M unit becomes a $632K unit.
That's not a discount or a subsidy. It's federal tax credits your site already qualifies for — sold to corporate tax buyers at installation.
Example based on a $1M EWRS deployment in a DOE-designated energy community. Actual amounts vary by site and equipment type.
Credit Categories
Four credit categories. One assessment.
Most operators know about 48C. Most miss 45X. Almost nobody has modeled energy community and brownfield bonuses on top of both. We score all four simultaneously.
$300K
per $1M unit
Advanced Energy Equipment Credit
30% of qualified equipment capex at installation. For energy recovery systems, battery manufacturing, and critical mineral processing facilities.
Ongoing
per kg of output
Advanced Manufacturing Credit
Per-kilogram production credit on battery-grade lithium carbonate, solar components, and other qualifying manufactured materials. Ongoing — every barrel processed.
+$100K
where applicable
DOE Designation Bonus
Additional 10% credit for deployments in DOE-designated energy communities. Applies on top of 48C equipment credits where applicable.
Varies
per site
Site Remediation Bonus
Additional credit for deployments on previously contaminated or brownfield sites. Often overlooked — and frequently stackable with 48C and energy community credits.
The Process
Score, execute, collect.
Submit your site
Tell us what you're deploying and where. Equipment type, estimated capex, formation data if you have it. Takes about five minutes.
We score the credit stack
ITC Intelligence runs your site against all applicable federal credit categories — 48C, 45X, energy community, brownfield. You get back a scored eligibility report with dollar amounts attached.
Credits get executed
Our execution team guides you through IRS Forms 695 and 481. Credits are sold to tax equity investors through Carbonix at 92 cents on the dollar, settled at installation.
The ROI shrinks. The output stays the same.
An 11-month payback model built on a $1M effective unit cost becomes a 7-month model at $632K. That's the same deployment, same output, same revenue stream. Just a different starting number on the capital stack.
And that's before 45X production credits start compounding on every kilogram of battery-grade material you produce. Those don't stop.
Request a Site AssessmentWho It's For
Three types of deployments. One platform.
Energy Recovery Systems
EWRS operators deploying produced water recovery and lithium extraction units. The $1M to $632K math was built for this.
Advanced Manufacturers
Torque tube producers, solar module manufacturers, battery component makers. 45X generates credits per kilogram on every production run.
Renewable Energy Developers
Projects in DOE-designated energy communities. Energy community bonuses stack on top of base equipment credits and are frequently missed.
