How to Better Convey a Solar Panel for Increased Production Capacity

U.S. solar panel manufacturers set new production records over the last few years but are still not able to meet local demand. In 2022, less than 15% of U.S. solar installations were sourced from domestic producers. Government initiatives aim to increase solar manufacturing capacity drastically, with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) setting a 50 GW production target for 2030.
