I have two specific questions about elective pay; would be curious if anyone has any insight!

1. I remember way back in summer of 2023 I attended a webinar about the elective pay process and they mentioned that one of the stackable tax credits available to apply for was for a "domestic content requirement"; i.e., if you used American-made stuff you'd get a credit for that.  10% was the number I believe.  But now I'm looking at this sheet from the IRS website and I don't see any domestic content tax credit listed.  Am I just reading this wrong?  Was I misinformed last summer?
2. I heard earlier today that a nonprofit can't apply for elective pay if they used grant funding to pay for the solar power system.  Is this just for a federal grant?  Or would using a grant of any source disqualify a nonprofit from applying for elective pay?  Or is this completely false? 

If anyone has any insight I'd love to know!

Thank you!

Great question, Adam! I'm adding the ASES Policy Chair, @Gilbert Michaud, who may be able to provide insight on this!
