Array Technologies broke ground on its new $50 million manufacturing campus in Bernalillo County, N.M., which the company says was made possible through Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits.
“Array’s new manufacturing facility will create good-paying jobs in New Mexico, strengthen the domestic solar supply chain and ultimately help us achieve greater American energy independence,” says Kevin G. Hostetler, chief executive officer of Array Technologies.
“This is a perfect example of government entities working together at all levels to promote pro-growth policies that create American jobs and support local businesses. With federal action like the Inflation Reduction Act and the support of state and local officials, Array is proud to be at the forefront of the solar energy boom.”
The 216,000-square-foot campus, located on Albuquerque’s west side, is slated to facilitate the company’s production, assembly, design, engineering and customer service.
In addition to the IRA tax credits, the expansion was also made possible in part by economic assistance from the Local Economic Development Act job-creation fund, awarded by the state. Additional support from the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County included LEDA funds and partial property-tax abatement through an Industrial Revenue Bond.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Bernalillo County Commission Chair Barbara Baca joined in the groundbreaking ceremony.

For most of our lives, many of us boomers have believed that the biggest threat to the United States was our president, starting with Tricky Dick Nixon, the inventor of the “trickle-down economics,” liar Ronald Reagan, and GW (the moron) Bush.
But yes, none of us was prepared for the cold, calculating criminal who is Donald Trump.
There Were Prior Threats to the Nation Stemming from the White House
The fact that human activity is unsustainable has been revealed to us gradually over the last century. Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published 63 years ago.
That said, the ideas of climate change, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity have been essentially unchallenged by scientists for just the last couple of decades.
The only thing standing in the way of rapid environmental progress is greed, and in the end, that may prove to be an unbeatable foe. Decarbonizing our grid and transportation sector will eventually destroy the fossil fuel industry, a group so powerful that it has a stranglehold, both on our lawmakers and on our corporate-owned media, that works so hard to misinform our citizenry.
It’s still possible that our most senior military leaders will insert themselves in time to prevent some truly catastrophic event here in the United States/abroad.
I keep thinking I’ll read about an exchange like this:
Trump: We’re invading Greenland.
Some four-star general: The f*** we are.
This may sound like a pipe dream, but these are people of real honor and integrity who take their oaths to our constitution quite seriously.
Will the U.S. Top Military Intervene Before Trump Inflicts Irreparable Damage
