In the meantime, domestic solar manufacturing capability is simply not sufficient to meet demand. The nation’s 7.5 GW of current domestic module production capacity comprises less than one-fourth of near-term market demand and less than one-tenth what would be required to meet the country’s climate targets and energy security needs.
Trade and supply-chain frictions have resulted in an acute shortage of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment in the United States that risks abruptly slowing the rate of solar PV installation. Project delays and cancellations pose risks to power sector reliability, electricity prices, and energy-sector jobs.
