The company is expected to become the largest producer of high-quality crystalline silicon PV solar cells in the US.

Next, mono ingot and wafer manufacturing had to scale. A small mono manufacturer, Longi, had been around since 2009, improving its processes and growing modestly to about 3 GW of capacity in 2014.

flexible mapping of multicristalline silicon bricks and wafers. Simultaneous measurement of minority carrier lifetime, photoconductivity, resistivity and sample flatness, all maps at the same time.

At more than 50 GW, the US now has enough solar module production capacity to meet the country's entire solar demand.

The United States has reached a historic manufacturing milestone, surpassing 50 gigawatts (GW) of domestic solar module production capacity. At full capacity, these factories can produce enough to ...

Trade group SEIA's data shows US has capacity to manufacture 52GW of modules, up from only 25GW three years ago, but remains dependent on overseas sourcing for critical inputs ...
