> It’s adding another 1.6 gigawatts (GW) of solar module manufacturing capacity at its Brookshire factory, bringing the site’s total to 3.2 GW. The company didn’t indicate a timescale for when the capacity increase would be complete. The move is part of its strategy to reinforce its “larger strategy of de-risking its global footprint.”
> The company first announced it would open the Texas factory in December 2023, its first footprint in the US. Its original plan was to have an initial capacity to manufacture 3 GW of solar modules annually by the end of 2024.<p>Sounds like PR trying to spin delays in planned investments as “doubling their investment”.<p>Basically they were supposed to be up to 3GW in Dec 2024, didn’t make it by then, and are now trying to spin the delayed capacity as new capacity.
