“As the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is anticipated to drive the expansion of residential and commercial solar installations, primarily due to increased certainty regarding the long-term extension of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), the demand for high-power and high-efficiency modules with extended warranties will intensify competition. Installers need to secure a reliable module supply to prevent project delays, procurement challenges, and customer discontent,” stated Melissa Cavanagh, Marketing Manager for North America at Trina Solar.
“The range of solar modules offered in the U.S. market is expanding, with contributions from both established and emerging companies. Installers are aware that not all modules are equal, and opting for a lesser-known module provider carries risks related to warranty, reliability, performance, and customer support. Established, reputable brands, whose modules undergo thorough third-party testing by laboratories such as PVEL and RETC, provide assurance and a history of proven performance,” stated Elena Zhang, General Manager of DG North America for LONGi Solar.
“With the increasing significance of the solar industry, there is a parallel rise in our obligation to enhance sustainability. Consumers are increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of their purchases and seek to make more conscientious decisions. Installers need to prioritize the sustainable attributes of their module portfolios in addition to technical specifications,” stated Cary Hayes, President of REC Americas.
