The United States has one of the world’s most dynamic solar and storage markets. The growing need for affordable energy and increased demand from electricity hungry industries, such as the data center industry, is driving more solar and storage deployment. The U.S. also has become a global solar and storage manufacturing leader. Domestic solar manufacturing expansion spans a broader range of products and technologies, as well as increasing degrees of vertical integration.
European machinery and equipment suppliers have a track record of serving the U.S. solar manufacturing industry. They offer solutions covering ingot, wafer, cell, module production equipment tools, including automation, characterization and digitalization devices. Despite the large market potential of 4.9 bn USD/annum in 2035, trade policy and action, tax policy and technology choice define investments in the field.
This webinar will feature insights from SEIA, VDMA America, VDMA Photovoltaics Equipment, and ISC Konztanz. Participants will get the freshest perspectives on U.S. market momentum, manufacturing expansion, policy and trade developments, investment conditions, technology needs, and business opportunities. The audience will learn how European-American cooperation can support a more competitive, innovative and resilient solar manufacturing ecosystem. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers.
