This is a current list of solar manufacturers in the United States that produce solar panels for the traditional residential, commercial and utility-scale markets. This data was collected by Solar Power World editors and will be continually updated as facilities are started and/or expanded. If there is a American facility update related to solar panels not included on these lists, please contact editor Kelly Pickerel at kpickerel@wtwhmedia.com.

The United States is growing its domestic polysilicon solar manufacturing abilities. A traditional silicon solar panel requires polysilicon, which is then shaped into silicon ingots, which are then cut into silicon wafers, which turn into silicon solar cells that are finally assembled into silicon solar panels. As new facilities start through every step of the silicon solar manufacturing process, they will be added here.
