Thank you for this tour its very great to see a panel manufacturing.
As others said Iโm happy to see a US company. Thanks for sharing.
Made in the USA? Weird, where in the US are they getting their wafers? https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/bus03-complying-made-usa-standard.pdf
These guys could make a fortune off the IRA tax scheme. You want to know how the Chinese got the cost of solar down so fast? They invented this automated process.
Made in America ๐๐
Very cool. I know JD and Dusty well and they were excited to work on their latest solar project with these panels!
cool seeing a new USA panel plant . hey KB solar can you – please make 40 in x 65 in panels 60 cell footprint dang I hate these bigger panels for many roofs.- thinking you may find some more sales , if your not doing this. you should reach out to installers across the USA to see what they think
Awesome news.. I live in Boiling Springs SC. I am planning to go solar sometime soon. And knowing i can get panels local is awesome news.. Will be reaching out to see about help on a ground mount system and have you guys in mind
Where do the cell's come from?
This is wicked cool ๐ love to see the inner workings never knew so much went into the making of solar panels pretty cool
They don't seem to sell direct to the consumer, or if they do, the process isn't friendly. Snore. Hope they open that up, let consumers buy direct. I'm tired of buying from a guy who buys from a buy who buys from the manufacturer.
Very cool. I imagined that this facility would be a clean-room type environment.
That's awesome! Such a cool process ๐ฎ
Looks amazing
Love it. There is hope for this Country yet.
Silfab and mission USA made
Thanks for sharing
congrats u finally have something to help isolate china from the usa
@engineer775 that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
These are definitely NOT manufactured in the US. They are only assembled in the US.
Are there any server rack batteries made in the USA?
This is so rad
So they don't actually make solar cells they assemble solar panels. Does anyone actually make solar cells in the US?
Crazy, i used to run a pick and place machine at a little shop in southern California. Business condo park, was the style building. There was this dude on the corner unit next to the dumpster. He used to yell at me for throwing trash away in the dumpster. Our freeking business trash. My boss encouraged him to call the cops as he so threatened every time so we could escalate his BS to get him to stop. He never did….. So we did circuit board manufacturing. Him? Freeking made solar panels by hand placement and soldering and laminating. Crazy world. That was in 2003 (03).
Hot dang,,,,local manufacturer. Just might have to check them out.
Awesome tour! So cool that they are near you.
Absolutely incredible! Very impressive operations. 100% direct tie kitted with KB panels.
Awesome find
I love the regionalization of solar power! Itโs great, and itโs being made where itโs being used. My go to panel is Mission Solar out of San Antonio, Texas, a very similar situation to your KB solar. Energy Localization is how we win. (i.e. Survive).
you're so lucky man…..damn!!!! so cool
Thanks E775 and Alex at KB Solar. Guess now I gotta start saving for Bi Facials.
US Based Bifacials? Am I dreaming?
I would not call this American manufactured. All of the components are being shipped in from outside the USA and simply assembled. More appropriately labeled "Assembled in the USA".
Chinese cells, parts and equipment. American assembly. Probably only competitive with subsidies.
absolutly fablous if only we had something like that in the UK
label on the monitor at 3:05 is in russian, says "changeover, k – month, f – day".
That's great to see. Thanks for the tour!
It's about time we start manufacturing our own products again. I knew 30 years ago, it would not turn out well once China got smart and decided to raise prices on greedy, corrupt US corporations.
"These people never smile or say a word. They're all too busy tryina make an extra dime. Lawd I'd love to haul 'em all down around Spartanburg, and show 'em how to raise hell in Carolin'" Very cool that they're building panels here in the US. Hank would be proud.
Thank you for the video, so nice to see panels made in the US, I am assuming they maybe a little cheaper than imported panels as there is not international shipping?
Great tour!
American – good
What kind of warranty is there?
WOW. i want some… 3 decades ago watched them grow. /cut silicon wafers at the old shell plant in Cali… in the before time…
Did I get that right?
They put voltage on the panel and check for the light given off?
I mean, I know it happens, but it is so ……. Cool!
Glad to see panels being produced in the US.
