When the US solar firm Suniva ceased operating in 2017, that looked like the end of the road for the oldest domestic supplier of monocrystalline solar cells in the nation. In fact, that looked like the end of the road for monocrystalline manufacturing in the US, period. Nevertheless, hope springs eternal. If all goes according to plan, the US solar industry will finally get its hands on made-in-the-USA monocrystalline solar cells.<\/p>\n

Where Are All The Made-In-The-USA Solar Cells?<\/h3>\n

The US solar industry has been growing at a record-setting pace at the installation end, but the manufacturing side has been slow to catch up. Today\u2019s go-to solar technology consists of solar cells made from silicon crystals. Polycrystalline cells made of silicon crystals melted together are less expensive but not…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
