Qcells and Microsoft ink a deal for 12 GW of American-made solar panels until 2032. This supports Qcells’ Georgia factory with $2.5 billion in demand. Microsoft, aiming for 100% renewable energy by 2025, mitigates supply chain risks. The collaboration aims to establish a robust U.S. solar supply chain. Qcells will manufacture silicon ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, contributing to President Biden’s efforts to boost domestic production of clean energy components.
