From February 25 to 27 (local time), Intersolar North America took place in San Diego, USA. As a key barometer for the North American and global photovoltaic (PV) industry, this year’s exhibition brought together top enterprises and industry leaders worldwide. The event focused on PV technology advancements, energy storage integration, and localized manufacturing capacity, collectively exploring the future of renewable energy in North America.
With its deep market presence in North America and cutting-edge intelligent equipment technologies, SC Solar became a focal point at the event. At the exhibition, the SC team provided customers with in-depth insights into advanced automation solutions for PV module manufacturing, showcasing the company’s cutting-edge innovations and technological expertise in smart manufacturing.
Policy-Driven Growth and Rising Production Capacity
According to the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. solar industry is set for significant growth in 2024, with newly installed PV capacity reaching an all-time high. This surge is primarily attributed to declining solar power generation costs, policy incentives, and rapid technological advancements. The EIA predicts that solar energy will continue to play an increasingly vital role in the U.S. energy mix, solidifying its position in the renewable energy landscape.
Since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed in 2022, U.S. PV manufacturing has experienced explosive growth. According to the latest data from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), domestic U.S. solar module manufacturing capacity has surpassed 50 GW, making the country the world’s third-largest module producer.
Local Commitment, Leading Smart Manufacturing
SC Solar has been deeply rooted in the North American market for many years, always prioritizing customer needs. With extensive experience in delivering automated PV module production lines and high-quality localized service capabilities, SC Solar actively contributes to the wave of PV manufacturing capacity expansion in the U.S. It has become one of the top choices for global customers investing in PV factory construction in the region.
By 2025, SC Solar will have delivered over 30 automated PV module production lines to partners such as Jinko, JA Solar, Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, Runergy, LG, WAAREE, SunPower, Mission, Heliene, and GAF. Holding the largest market share in the U.S., SC Solar supports various technological pathways, including TOPCon, HJT, XBC, and shingled modules, positioning itself as a key driver of local capacity expansion. Additionally, as a global pioneer in perovskite equipment, SC Solar successfully delivered high-efficiency perovskite cell production lines and supporting equipment to U.S. customers last year, accelerating the development of perovskite solar cell technology in the region.
Technology-Driven Innovation
At a time when the world is accelerating its transition to clean energy, the U.S. market’s favorable policies and rapidly increasing PV installations are injecting strong momentum into the solar industry. Seizing this new opportunity, SC Solar will continue to uphold technological innovation as its core driving force, constantly pushing the boundaries of technology to make PV manufacturing easier. Together with global partners, SC Solar is committed to contributing more intelligence and strength to the global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals.
