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.
