| A global energy crisis, trade disputes, and shipping constraints have magnified the importance of secure supply chains. Maybe no industry has been more exposed to those headwinds over the past two years than solar. Even before the Auxin Solar tariff petition threatened the U.S. solar industry's survival, Nextracker founder and CEO Dan Shugar bet that 'Made in America' would soon matter more than ever. Over the past four months, Nextracker, a leading manufacturer of trackers for utility-scale solar projects, has opened three steel production facilities in the U.S. in pursuit of ramping up 10 GW of domestic capacity. In Episode 7 of the Factor This!™ podcast, Shugar explains the decision and predicts how the U.S. solar supply chain will continue to evolve. Plus, he gives a sneak peek at Nextracker's next manufacturing announcement.
