SMA Solar Technology expects to expand its manufacturing into the U.S., with a projected production start of 2025.
SMA is currently working with potential partners to evaluate the most strategic manufacturing location and approach. The company says it is planning for 3.5 GW of capacity per year at the new site, with the potential to expand.
“With this step we will significantly strengthen our market share in the U.S. and set the course for SMA’s future growth,” says SMA CEO Jürgen Reinert. “The global demand for climate-friendly solar solutions and the urgent need for more energy efficiency continues to increase. This is reflected in our order books, and with our broad portfolio of solutions we are ideally positioned to benefit from this decision.”
“This strategic decision will energize SMA’s growth and supply solutions to a market seeking domestically sourced products,” says Jeppe Johansen, managing director of SMA America. “We applaud the Biden Administration working in collaboration with the Department of Energy and the IRS for their bold policies to stimulate clean energy manufacturing in the U.S. The potential for our market is vast and local manufacturing is one strategic piece of our growth trajectory.”
SMA’s expected manufacturing expansion coincides with the construction of the company’s GW factory, allowing it to double its Germany production capacity in Germany to 40 GW per year.
U.S. site selection is anticipated in the first half of next year.

A judge has ruled that New York State’s climate “superfund,” modeled after laws that provide money to clean up toxic waste, runs counter to federal law and is therefore invalid.Eventually, we will have laws that force companies whose actions are ruining the planet to pay for the remediation that must happen to avert environmental collapse. In the meanwhile, we need to expect the fossil fuel industry to continue its ruthless legal attack such legislation.
Climate “Superfund” Will Require Legislation at the Federal Level
The idea expressed at left, i.e., that Trump’s arch–or any single action Trump has taken towards self-aggrandizement is causing is approval rate to plummet–is fallacious.
Sure, a great many of his similar efforts, e.g., putting his name on the Kennedy Center, or issuing coins with his image on them, rankled our souls as Americans.
But let’s face facts, Trump’s approval rating is hovering at just above 30%, meaning that about one-third of U.S. voters don’t care that he’s a petty, spoiled child, a convicted felon, and one of the most despicable people in the history of humankind.
There Is No Single Act that Would Crash Trump’s Approval Rating
Here’s proof (as if any were needed) that Trump understands that he’s despised and knows that his claims that he’s “respected around the world” are total bullshit.
