How to Manufacture Solar Wafers, Cells and Modules Competitively in the United States
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has sparked a resurgence in US solar manufacturing, leading to the announcement of over 250 GW of new or expanded solar manufacturing capacity across 23 states, creating more than 27,000 jobs and attracting over $14 billion in investments. Now the first manufacturing projects are coming online, while many companies are still in the development phase. Given the highly dynamic and challenging environment for equipment manufacturers in international markets, the US market landscape offers significant opportunities and substantial untapped potential. This content-driven 1-day event format provides a platform for all stakeholders active and looking into solar manufacturing in the US to create a competitive solar industry, contributing to resilience and energy security at time the quickly expanding solar market still relies heavily on imports with minimal domestic content. The conference will provide a 360-degree view on manufacturing along the silicon value chain with emphasis on technology in wafer, cell and module manufacturing.
