Extending IRA to Solar Module Frames Yields More US Steel Production, Jobs
Industry analysts expect federal support and the $150 billion in additional private sector investment to dramatically increase module manufacturing by 2030. Missing are incentives for domestic production of solar module frames, one of the leading drivers of module costs after solar cells.

Energy security starts with renewable energy independence
Real energy security starts with renewable energy independence. It’s time to invest in US solar manufacturing. The US energy transition and the fight against climate change will once again be in our control, where it must be. Our energy security demands that we make the policy decisions and investments to secure our renewable energy independence.
It’s Time to Rebuild the US Solar Supply Chain
As the economy transitions from fossil fuels to clean energy, it’s time for a new pledge that everyone can get behind: the need for renewable energy independence. Yet, as it stands, rising material and shipping costs threaten to postpone or cancel 50 GW of utility solar projects in 2022.
How steel can cut solar costs, emissions, and set the supply chain free
Today, the module frame represents a significant opportunity for cost reduction. That’s because the aluminum frame is the most expensive part of the bill of materials outside all the parts that go into making the cell, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).
