> 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.
Sounds like PR trying to spin delays in planned investments as “doubling their investment”.
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.
