How is it the tax credit issued by Bush is better than this one??

We only focused on PV solar aspects.

Any idea if customers who install in 2022 can hold off on filing until the refundable option becomes available?

There is still a roadblock and that is transmission infrastructure. FERC the regulating authority of wholesale energy transmission and conveyance needs to flex their muscles to push through the many transmission projects that would allow interconnection from coast to coast and north to south. The recent FERC rulings 841 and 2222 allowing energy storage into the wholesale energy market would be an important “tool” in the decarbonization of the grid by 2035 mandate. Right now the typical electric transmission project is 10 years from start to finish. By using already in place Federal rights of ways along pipelines, railroads, and Interstate freeways could have UHVDC transmission buried along this infrastructure and existing right of ways.
