US solar panel manufacturing boom

The United States is now the third-largest solar module manufacturer in the world, and more growth is on the way…

The expansion of U.S. solar manufacturing capability has been driven by trade barriers and domestic incentives. For developers, these policies have made domestically produced PV modules attractive both in terms of security of supply and by virtue of attractive subsidies.

CEA said the solar factory boom is “real — but fragile. While domestic cell and module capacity continues to expand, developers and manufacturers remain cautious amid policy uncertainty and enforcement risks tied to Inflation Reduction Act tax credits.”
