The Process
How ITC Intelligence Works
Three stages. Site submission to credit execution. Most operators go from initial assessment to cash at installation in under 90 days.
Stage 01
Site Assessment Request
You submit basic deployment specs: equipment type, estimated capex, location (county and state is enough to start), and the commodity you'll be producing if applicable.
We don't need a full geological report to begin. Most assessments start with the information you already have in hand.
What you provide
Stage 02
Credit Stack Scoring
ITC Intelligence runs your site against the full federal credit schedule. That means 48C equipment eligibility, 45X per-unit production credits, DOE energy community bonus qualification, and brownfield site analysis — simultaneously, in one assessment.
The output is a scored eligibility report with dollar amounts. Not a range. Actual numbers, by credit category, with the qualification basis documented.
What you receive
Stage 03
Credit Execution
Our execution team guides you through the IRS process. Char Davis, our ITC execution partner, handles Forms 695 and 481 and has run this process across multiple credit categories.
Credits are sold to corporate tax equity buyers through Carbonix at 92 cents on the dollar, settled at installation. For projects using a 501c3 structure, the rate is 80 cents. Either way, you receive cash at install rather than waiting to use the credits against your own tax liability.

What about ITC deadlines?
Skip any projects with September 2026 ITC deadlines. The right play is 45X production credits and related equipment credits for projects breaking ground in 2027. That's where the credit stack is cleanest and the execution window is wide.
For 2027 groundbreak projects, there's also an open question worth exploring: whether ITC credits can be forward-committed as part of the financing structure itself. We're working with Char Davis and tax counsel to confirm that structure. If it holds, funds that need the tax offset would have it embedded in the deal from day one.
