There’s a press release almost every week.

Increasing demand for solar modules, paired with supply chain constraints and trade disputes, have some new players eyeing the US market.

Some module manufacturers are building new factories to capitalize on fresh federal incentives to boost the domestic solar supply chain. Others are hoping to import their products into the US.

Both have created a set of new, largely unknown players for buyers to make sense of. And standard certifications don’t go far enough to determine a module's long-term performance and reliability.

Episode 36 of the Factor This! podcast features Tristan Erion-Lorico, VP of sales and marketing for PV Evolution Labs. The firm helps manufacturers prove themselves to new markets, and offers investors and asset owners an extra level of certainty over long-term performance.
