Great Read! Exciting to see movement in the onshore push to supply chain of wafer production within the USA. High purity Quartz silica has a role from crucibles to advanced processing equipment in wafer etching such as quartz boats and carriers, quartz tubes, quartz tanks and quartz liners. Sio Silica’s Manitoba resource has a role to play when Solar Wafers become US Domestic Content. #HighPurityQuartz #SolarWafers #TechInnovation #SustainableTech #CleanEnergy #OnShoreManufacturing #QuartzSilica #SemiConductorManufacturing #RenewableEnergy #RenewableEnergyFuture #SolarPower

“The clock is ticking to get this right as billions of investment dollars and thousands of jobs in solar manufacturing hang in the balance. In a very real sense, the future of solar energy depends on it.” SEMA Coalition’s executive director Michael Carr shares how by updating the domestic content bonus and standing up to unfair practices by China, we can reshore the U.S. solar supply chain and create a better clean energy future that benefits our workforce, economy and environment.

☀️ Major trends that shaped U.S. solar energy in 2024 ☀️ 💰 Falling solar module costs, a ramp-up in domestic manufacturing, backed up grid interconnection queues, high interest rates and shifting policies, trade policy enforcement, weather resilience efforts and more have guided the solar industry to where we stand today. 🔌 In 2024, solar continued to represent the largest share among technology types for new electricity generation capacity brought online. According to the Energy Information Administration, over 64% of new capacity added to the grid through three quarters in 2024 was solar. ☀️ Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports that the U.S. installed 220 GW of solar cumulatively, with more than 10% of the cumulative total brought online in 2024 alone. SEIA estimates that over 10,000 solar businesses operate in the U.S., employing nearly 280,000 people and representing an estimated market value of roughly $64 billion. Well over 5 million solar arrays have been installed in the U.S., from small systems consisting of few panels to large power plants comprised of millions of panels.

American #solar power continues to break records in 2024. ☀️ The American Clean Power Association (ACP)'s new report projects that the U.S. will install over 32 GW of utility-scale solar by the end of the year, a new annual record. 📈 Let's keep up the momentum! https://lnkd.in/e8hfTjhd

[Industry updates] 🌍🔋 We're pleased to share insights from PV InfoLink, a leading market intelligence provider in the #solar industry. Their latest report projects that global solar installations could reach between 469 to 533 GW in 2024. To put this into perspective, even at the lower end of this #forecast, it would represent a moderate increase compared to 2023 levels, underscoring the resilience of the #solarmarket despite current industry challenges. 📈☀️ As a dedicated player in the #renewableenergy sector, C&D Clean Energy remains committed to leveraging our expertise to accelerate the global #energy #transition. We are proud to contribute to this shared effort for a greener future, working hand-in-hand with our partners to bring #clean, sustainable power to communities worldwide. 💪🌱 Clean power today for a better tomorrow. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #GreenFuture #SolarGrowth #renewables #solarenergy #solarpv #PV https://lnkd.in/dQnDrUZj

Big news for the US solar energy industry! Heliene and Suniva partnering to deliver the first mainstream silicon-based solar cell that qualifies for the Domestic Content Bonus Credit. "Solar project builders that use panels containing American-made cells will be able to claim a 10% tax credit for using domestic content, according to Treasury Department rules unveiled nearly a year ago. That bonus credit, created in the 2022 IRA, has been regarded by developers as elusive because there is no current U.S. supply of silicon-based solar cells, the predominant industry technology." #inflationreductionact #solarcells #solarpanels #dcbc #domesticcontent #bonuscredit #IRA #madeinamerica

Solar manufacturing capacity in the US has nearly quadrupled in the two years since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law, a new report reveals. According to the ‘US Solar Market Insight Q3 2024’ published today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and analysts Wood Mackenzie, solar manufacturing capacity in the US now stands at over 31GW, with over 10GW added in the second quarter of 2024 alone. The IRA—president Joe Biden’s landmark legislation—passed into law in 2022, and offers generous tax incentives to PV module producers, which has since unleashed a wave of new manufacturing capacity additions. “The solar and storage industry is turning federal clean energy policies into action by rapidly creating jobs and powering economic growth in all 50 states, particularly in battleground states like Arizona, Nevada and Georgia,” said SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper. “We are now manufacturing historic amounts of solar energy in America, and soon, we will have enough domestic module production to supply nearly all US demand for years to come.”
