Solar supply chain infographic data map for North America
Solar quality assurance firm, Sinovoltaics has released its first North America Solar Supply Chain Map, based on the latest fourth quarter of 2023 data. An updated version of the infographic map and factory capacity data will be released every four months. The complimentary infographic and data pages reveal the existing and future PV manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In addition to showing existing North American supply chain factories in 2023, the download also includes all known announced factories that are expected to start production by 2027. At a glance, solar developers will be able to see the PV manufacturer’s brand, location, and the mapped factory’s capacity of modules, cells, wafers, ingots, polysilicon, and multigrain silicon at each location. Sinovoltaics’ infographic supply chain map will help solar developers, independent power producers (IPPs), and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies to stay on top of the manufacturing boom and inform their procurement decisions. The map provides a visual representation of the spread of solar manufacturing facilities across North America, as well as regions where manufacturing is concentrated as well as a corresponding directory that includes the locations and up-to-date information on which components are produced at each factory. Developers can also use the map to locate manufacturers within specific regions, allowing them to source modules for their projects efficiently while reducing transportation costs and carbon emissions. Knowing the capacity of each forthcoming factory allows solar developers to assess the scalability of the supply chain for larger projects.
