“With our growth and the growth in the utility-scale solar industry anticipated for the next decade, we have greatly expanded our USA annual capacity to 24 GW for key structural systems to directly meet the needs of our customers for domestically sourced products,” said Derick Botha, chief commercial officer at GameChange Solar,

“We are pleased to be able to expand greatly the domestic manufacturing sector supporting renewable energy and the many jobs it will create.”

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The event in 2023 was a sell out success and 2024 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.

This creates new challenges for testing and inspection of PV Modules as they consider new module suppliers and update their due diligence processes.
