#Taxpayers #LetTheSunshineIn : U.S. #DOE grant expected to fund majority of $2.2 billion complex for #Qcells (division of #SouthKorean #Hanwha Group) to build a solar plant in #Georgia.

President Joe #Biden’s #InflationReductionAct, gives tax credits on #AmericanMade solar gear, plus allows manufacturers to earn #incentives for every unit of #polysilicon they refine in every wafer, cell and module they make in #USA.

A US Dept of #Energy spokesman said “The domestic demand for #solar modules in 2026 is expected to be around 50 #gigawatts. We’re expecting to produce about 40 gigawatts in 2026, So that means 80% of the (#solarpower) modules that we deploy in the United States in 2026 is expected to be domestic.”

This is the third time the factory has expanded after opening in 2019.
