Introduction
Federal and state infrastructure projects across the United States increasingly require U.S. manufactured solar lighting that meets BAA and BABA domestic content rules. These requirements shape how municipalities, DOTs, HOAs and engineering teams select outdoor lighting solutions for funded projects.
SolarPath delivers flexible, documented, American-assembled solar lighting systems that support compliance without slowing down design or construction timelines.
Understanding the Regulations
Buy American Act (BAA)
The BAA requires federal agencies to purchase products manufactured in the U.S., using a defined percentage of domestic components. These thresholds change over time, making accurate sourcing and documentation essential.
Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)
BABA expands domestic content requirements to infrastructure projects funded fully or partially by federal grants. For solar lighting, this often means final assembly must occur in the U.S., and a significant portion of materials must be domestically sourced.
pSolarPath’s Capabilities for Comliance
U.S. Assembly and Flexible Manufacturing
SolarPath performs system assembly and integration in the United States, allowing us to configure products to meet BAA and BABA requirements.
Our U.S. manufactured solar lighting platform supports both standard and custom configurations.
Custom Sourcing and Engineering
When projects require specific domestic content thresholds, our team reconfigures the bill of materials to include U.S.-sourced steel, enclosures, electronics or other components.
Detailed Documentation Packages
We provide clear compliance documentation, origin statements and breakdowns that procurement teams and grant administrators can review and approve.
Regulatory Monitoring
Our engineering and supply chain teams track evolving federal standards to ensure our products remain compliant as rules change.
