Vice President Kamala Harris will head to Georgia on Thursday to announce that one of the nation’s leading solar companies will embark on the largest-ever community solar project to build 2.5 million panels that will power up to 140,000 homes in several states.
The endeavor from solar manufacturer Qcells, which is expanding its factory in Dalton, Georgia, is a result of billions of dollars in clean energy tax credits from Democrats’ tax-and-climate spending law known as the Inflation Reduction Act.
The waiver came amid concerns that the domestic solar industry would collapse without a cheap foreign supply source that accounts for 80% of solar panels used in U.S. projects. A senior administration official insisted the White House is striking a balance between supporting domestic manufacturers and keeping up with solar energy demand.
Once completed, the Qcells solar project will generate 1.2 gigawatts, or enough power for 140,000 homes.
