  • Another New Solar Factory Rises In A Deep Red US State

    Translucent Energy, a solar manufacturer, has expanded its portfolio with a new 1.3-gigawatt solar factory in South Carolina, aiming to boost the state's solar industry and focus on markets outside of the state. The company's stakeholders are pleased with President Trump's proclamation to limit imports of polysilicon, incentivizing domestic production. Translucent also offers transportable microgrid systems like TAU for rural electrification and emergency relief, as well as EV charging stations like EV-E for efficient operation. The US solar industry is experiencing growth and opportunities for companies like Translucent to enter the market with customized solutions for fleets and developers.
