# The Future of U.S. Solar Manufacturing: N-Type Solar Cells and Domestic Supply Chains
The solar industry in the U.S. continues to grow at an impressive pace, driven by both technological advancements and policy incentives. Recently, a major step forward in domestic solar manufacturing was announced, reinforcing the country’s commitment to energy independence.
A new supply agreement between Talon PV and SEG Solar will bring U.S.-manufactured N-type solar cells to market, strengthening the domestic solar supply chain. This partnership will impact both solar companies and homeowners looking for high-quality **solar panels for your home** with increased U.S.-made content.
## Why This Matters for the U.S. Solar Industry
