Solar module manufacturing is the process of creating photovoltaic (PV) modules, which convert sunlight into electricity. It involves the step-by-step fabrication of solar panels from raw materials like silicon into fully assembled, tested, and ready-to-install modules, ensuring durability and weather resistance. 1. Polysilicon Production
How Does Solar Work? Solar manufacturing encompasses the production of products and materials across the solar value chain. While some concentrating solar-thermal manufacturing exists, most solar manufacturing in the United States is related to photovoltaic (PV) systems.
As countries ramp up solar deployment, solar module manufacturing becomes a strategic sector. Policies like: are reshaping trade, investment, and job creation. Manufacturing is no longer a backend process—it's now central to clean energy policy and global competitiveness.
The current US solar manufacturing ecosystem represents a comprehensive network of production capabilities that extends far beyond simple panel assembly, with domestic module manufacturing capacity growing an unprecedented 190% year-over-year in 2024.
