TL;DR
Soltec has obtained FEOC-compliant certification for its U.S.-manufactured SFOne and SF7 solar trackers, enabling project developers to meet domestic content mandates. This certification follows a compliance review with KPMG and enhances supply chain resilience.
Soltec has secured certification confirming its SFOne and SF7 series solar trackers meet the Federal Export Optimization Certification (FEOC) domestic content requirements, enabling U.S. project developers to comply with federal mandates.
Since the end of 2025, Soltec has been able to offer tracker solutions with 100% U.S. domestic content, aligned with the Department of the Treasury’s guidance. The company has now obtained FEOC-compliant certification for its U.S. tracker portfolio, following a compliance review carried out with advisory support from KPMG.
According to Mariano Berges, CEO of Soltec, the certification allows project owners to benefit from a strong local supply chain, facilitating access to Made-in-USA tax incentives. The certification covers key components of the trackers, including torque tubes, fasteners, drive systems, dampers, actuators, controllers, and rails, ensuring the entire product lineup aligns with domestic content standards.
Impact of FEOC Certification on U.S. Solar Projects
The certification is significant because it helps U.S. solar project developers meet federal domestic content requirements, which are increasingly critical for accessing tax credits and incentives. By localizing its supply chain and obtaining FEOC compliance, Soltec enhances the cost competitiveness, delivery certainty, and resilience of its tracker solutions against tariffs, freight volatility, and geopolitical disruptions. This development supports the broader goal of strengthening domestic manufacturing and supply chain security in the U.S. solar industry.

Background on Domestic Content and Soltec’s U.S. Operations
U.S. federal policies, including the Inflation Reduction Act, have emphasized domestic manufacturing and content for renewable energy projects to qualify for tax incentives. Achieving domestic content certification has become a key requirement for project developers seeking to maximize federal benefits. Soltec, a global tracker manufacturer, has been working to localize its supply chain to meet these evolving standards. Since late 2025, the company has been able to offer 100% U.S.-made tracker solutions, and now, with FEOC certification, it further solidifies its position as a domestic supplier in the U.S. market.
“Our customers in the United States are already benefiting from a strong local supply chain that enables Soltec to offer tracker solutions with 100% U.S. content, fully aligned with PFE compliance requirements.”
