# The Future of U.S. Solar Manufacturing: A Game-Changer for Solar Companies
The U.S. solar industry has taken a major step forward with a new partnership between key manufacturers that promises to produce the first solar modules made entirely with U.S.-sourced polysilicon, wafers, and cells. This development is a huge boost for solar companies looking for domestically made products while also aligning with the financial incentives outlined in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
## Strengthening the U.S. Solar Supply Chain
For years, the U.S. solar industry has been heavily dependent on overseas suppliers for essential components, including wafers and solar cells. However, this latest agreement between three solar manufacturers aims to change that. With this partnership, solar companies and homeowners can soon purchase solar panels for their home that contain up to 66% domestic content.
One of the key drivers behind this shift is the IRA’s domestic content bonus, which allows solar developers to access additional tax credits by using U.S.-made components. For projects that meet domestic content requirements, developers can stack multiple incentives to cover up to 50% of their total installed costs. This makes installing a solar array for home use more financially accessible than ever.
