The QCells factory in Georgia has integrated solar panel production under one roof as US solar policy swings between incentivising domestic manufacturing via tax credits under Biden and imposing tariffs and restrictions under Trump, creating a challenging environment for domestic producers and buyers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a volatile US solar policy that flips between supporting domestic production with tax credits and penalising foreign supply chains with tariffs and restrictions. This whiplash creates a window to position your supply chain locally now, but you must prepare for sudden policy reversals.
