Manufacturer-document records linked to this model: 0. Those records do not by themselves establish domestic content or PFE status.
A U.S. factory, a BABA attestation, and an FTC Made in USA claim are not an IRS domestic-content determination. The file names Series 6 Plus and Series 7. It does not print a wattage or a catalog SKU. A DOE-hosted BABA attestation is not an IRS domestic-content determination, not a cell or wafer origin finding, and not a prohibited-foreign-entity finding.
This record does not say the product qualifies for section 48E.
What the evidence says
POTENTIALLY COMPATIBLE Conditional Domestic Contribution
Contribution depends on configuration, project facts, or additional substantiation. It is not a guaranteed credit.
Where it was made
Origin not verified. Sunrise does not have a manufacturer source that states where this identifier was made.
IRS domestic-content contribution
Conditional Domestic Contribution. This is not a tax credit by itself.
BABA
Manufacturer BABA attestation on file. A DOE-hosted Build America, Buy America manufacturer attestation names this product or printed family. It is not a DOE certification and not an IRS domestic-content determination.
PFE
PFE not established. Ownership, control, and material-assistance facts were not in the catalog. A country of manufacture is not a prohibited-foreign-entity finding.
U.S.-made, BABA, and IRS contribution are independent. This product does not independently guarantee a domestic-content bonus.
Evidence: Open source retrieved 2026-10-13.
Technical documentation
IRS component treatment: PV module. Steel or iron versus manufactured product: MANUFACTURED_PRODUCT.
Sources checked: Sunrise catalog identity (manufacturer, model, SKU, category); DOE-hosted BABA attestation archive (named-product match only); IRS Notice 2025-08 listed manufactured-product / steel-iron mapping by category; Stored facilities table (U.S. factory presence is not SKU origin); Stored manufacturer headquarters country (not treated as SKU origin); Manufacturer-document evidence table: no row linked to this model; Official catalog-part evidence table: no row linked to this SKU; Archived manufacturer files scanned for origin phrases (293 files; linked files only applied to this SKU); Official manufacturer library: https://www.firstsolar.com (Manufacturer library home; entity-level unless the identifier is named); Official manufacturer library: https://www.energy.gov/cmei/systems/build-america-buy-america-baba-compliant-solar-manufactured-products (DOE BABA hosting page; entity-level unless the identifier is named)
Still needed: Bill of materials showing every manufactured-product component is domestic; IRS domestic-content substantiation distinct from BABA; Steel/iron melted-and-poured evidence if structural steel or iron is present
Why no stronger classification: A DOE-hosted BABA attestation names this product or printed family. BABA is not the IRS domestic-content bonus test. Notice 2023-38 still requires every manufactured-product component of a manufactured product to be domestic before that product's production cost counts.
