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.

Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology
I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea. But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.
Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom? And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

Pride Flags
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
