In this pv magazine USA Week session, Joseph Johnson, Associate Director of Market Intelligence, shares his insights on the challenges facing the U.S. solar supply chain, the drive toward domestic manufacturing, and strategies for navigating trade restrictions and compliance.
A steady supply of solar modules, inverters, trackers, and energy storage systems is needed to advance the energy transition in the United States, but the web of supply challenges and manufacturing capabilities grows increasingly complex.
Solar module manufacturing in the United States is booming, with as much as 65 GW of module assembly and 13 GW of solar cell manufacturing expected to be online by the end of 2025. However, this is not enough to meet forecast demand for the industry, and many factories have been cancelled due to challenges created by shifting domestic industrial policy.
For imports, suppliers navigate numerous challenges, including foreign entity of concern (FEOC) restrictions on tax credit eligibility, widespread tariffs, antidumping and countervailing duty rules and tariffs, UFLPA restrictions, and more.
In this pv magazine USA Week session, we explore the challenges of the U.S. solar supply chain, the push toward U.S. manufacturing, and the navigation of trade restrictions and compliance.
