# How Domestic Manufacturing is Reshaping the U.S. Solar and Battery Industry
The U.S. solar industry is undergoing a major shift as federal policies increasingly prioritize domestic manufacturing. With incentives and tax credits favoring American-made products, solar companies are making significant investments in reshoring production to strengthen supply chain security and reduce costs associated with tariffs. If you’re considering solar panels for your home, understanding how these changes impact the industry can help you make an informed decision.
## The Push for American-Made Solar and Batteries
At the recent Intersolar & Energy Storage North America 2025 conference, industry leaders made one thing clear: the U.S. solar and battery market is focusing on domestic manufacturing. Federal regulations and incentives are driving more solar companies to invest in U.S.-based production facilities, creating jobs and boosting the economy while reducing reliance on foreign imports.
One major incentive is the 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credit, which has been instrumental in accelerating domestic battery production. Companies that manufacture solar panels, inverters, and energy storage solutions within U.S. borders can take advantage of these financial benefits, making it more competitive to produce a solar array for home use entirely with American-made components.
