Nextracker says it has shipped and delivered the industry’s first U.S.-manufactured solar trackers in the United States, which are expected to achieve 100% domestic content value for solar trackers under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

The first project to receive these domestic content trackers is SB Energy’s Pelican’s Jaw project. The 570 MW solar and 954 MWh storage project is currently under construction by SOLV Energy.

Nextracker began investing in local manufacturing infrastructure in 2021 to establish a secure supply chain following disruptions during the global pandemic. Together with its manufacturing partners, the company has now expanded or opened more than 25 U.S. factories with over 30 GW of annual capacity.

“Delivering the industry’s first trackers with 100% domestic content value is a huge milestone for our customers, our supply partners, and Nextracker,” says Dan Shugar, Nextracker’s founder and CEO. “It demonstrates our ability to ramp and scale operations that directly benefit our customers – and sets a new standard for local supply chain resilience and operational excellence.”

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
