During Q1 2024, 11 GW of new solar module manufacturing capacity came online in the U.S., per the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q2 2024 report released by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.
The report adds that total domestic solar module manufacturing capacity now exceeds 26 GW annually, with the industry also installing 11.8 GW of new solar capacity during the quarter, bringing total domestic capacity to 200 GW.
“This quarter proves that new federal investments in clean energy are revitalizing American manufacturing and strengthening our nation’s energy economy,” said SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper. “Whether it’s a billion-dollar investment in a nearby solar project or a new manufacturing plant employing hundreds of local workers, the solar and storage industry is uplifting communities in every state across this country.”
Massive growth in the Utility-scale market growth drove solar deployment figures as the segment added nearly 10 GW of new capacity in Q1. The report also states that the U.S. added 40 GW of new solar capacity last year.
The residential solar segment is feeling the full weight of policy changes in California and experienced its worst quarter in two years. The commercial and community solar markets remained steady year-over-year.

Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.

Is Trump the “Greatest President Ever?”
Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
The more damage they do to the common U.S. citizen, the more we love them.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for woke communists and sissies.

The Future of Pete Hegseth’s Career
Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
