The US can currently produce enough solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) modules to meet domestic demand, according to clean energy trade body American Clean Power Association (ACP).

ACP published its second annual ‘State of Clean Energy Manufacturing’ report on 21 May, which states that “Rapid growth in solar and storage production, sustained wind manufacturing, and rising investment in critical minerals are reshaping the nation’s energy supply chain.”

According to the report, 70 new manufacturing facilities opened in 2025, bringing the total to over 825 facilities across all 50 states. Large concentrations are located in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, and North Carolina.
