US solar panel manufacturers now have enough capacity to meet domestic demand thanks to the IRA. Solar cell manufacturing is beginning to ramp up too but we’re still getting dominated by China. Trump’s threats are already stalling the progress. https://t.co/mAQiaATrHL

The industry can now make 50 gigawatts of panels in the U.S. Solar cell factories are coming next, but may be hindered if Trump kills a key tax credit.

Excited to share that this Sunday you may hear me on the organ as the Sixers pay tribute to the Spectrum for the unveiling of the new City Edition jerseys!
