Governments are Demanding Local Manufacturing of Solar

The time for solar revolution is now. Governments are mandating local manufacturing as 2026 subsidy and supply chain rules result in a 233% increase in market prices alongside geopolitical turmoil.

CHALLENGES

Why Legacy Manufacturing Can't Scale Economically in Local Markets

Photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing has not meaningfully evolved in decades. Built for massive scale, heavy subsidies, and low-cost labor, it is structurally misaligned with today’s local-manufacturing mandates.

01

INFLEXIBILITY

Inflexibility

Capital-intensive gigafactories

Creates barriers to entry and stranded-asset risks

02

INEFFICIENCY

Inefficiency
