Solar Technology Was Developed In America.

Now It’s Time To Make It Here.

 

Solar manufacturing can accelerate the clean energy transition and create thousands of good-paying jobs.

We can and must strengthen the entire U.S. solar supply chain to meet our economic, national security, and climate goals.

What does the SEMA Coalition Advocate for?

Our coalition first advocated for a set of manufacturing incentives (the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act) meant to harness American ingenuity and continue to drive down solar deployment costs, adding thousands of good-paying jobs across the country.

Now, after its inclusion in Section 45X of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Coalition aims to be a vocal leader in the implementation of these incentives. The Coalition is calling on Congress and the Biden Administration to take a whole-of-government approach – going beyond the IRA – to support domestic solar manufacturers. We are committed to working closely with the Administration and Congress to expediently restore a domestic solar manufacturing supply chain and develop a secure, stable clean energy future.

About the Coalition

We believe that the right set of policies and tax incentives (found in Section 45X of the IRA) can allow us to build a globally competitive, American solar value chain that will continue to innovate and drive down costs over the decade.

The Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition currently represents more than 6,100 manufacturing workers in the United States.
