The investment will support the creation of about 564 new jobs. “South Carolina already has a very rich history in advanced manufacturing. This is the next evolution for South Carolina, which is the next … [continued]
The US solar energy manufacturing profile keeps growing, now with the leading US materials firm Corning lending its firepower to the solar startups Suniva and Heliene.
Solar manufacturing credits and the Solar For All program are all on the chopping block in the next administration.

Despite its red-state reputation on climate action, Georgia will host the nation’s only domestic manufacturer of monocrystalline solar cells.
The wrath of the US solar industry is raining down upon an anonymous group of solar tariffs petitioners against unfair Chinese imports.
Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi Solar announced last week that it has signed a $600 million supply agreement with an unnamed major US power plant developer for the company’s high-efficiency monocrystalline modules.
Suniva, the Chinese-owned, US-based solar manufacturer which instigated the Section 201 trade case that led to the imposition of 30% tariffs on all imported solar cells and modules, has this week been released from bankruptcy proceedings thanks to the intervention of SQN Capital Management.
Nearly 60% of American voters oppose tariffs recently imposed on imported solar cells and modules by US President Trump according to a new survey, including a majority in districts classified as “very red” despite nearly 60% of Republicans favoring the tariffs.
In a move that could upset the US political apple cart all over Washington, Nevada Congresswoman Jacky Rosen has introduced a bipartisan bill to the House of Congress which, if successful, could overturn the 30% tariff on imported solar cells and modules introduced by President Donald Trump earlier this year.
