"We know the healthiest thing for an American economy is an America that makes what it needs." — Missy Rogers, President, Noble Plastics, and chair of the board of directors of the New Orleans Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In Grand Coteau, Louisiana, American manufacturing is making a comeback — driven by two companies who never stopped believing in it. Noble Plastics builds the junction boxes that power modules made at our Louisiana factory — American parts, made by American workers, for American-made solar technology. It's a partnership that means jobs and economic investment for the local community from both ends of the supply chain. Watch how two companies are building America's industrial base, together. 🎥👇 #AmericasSolarCompany# #AmericanManufacturing# #MadeInAmerica#

Apollo, made in America! 🇺🇸 A photograph of Apollo 1 is being displayed at the @cooperhewitt Smithsonian Design Museum’s Made in America exhibition - Christopher Payne's stunning tribute to American manufacturing. Having just launched Apollo 2 last month, Apollo 1's retirement plan is looking pretty good. The exhibit is in NYC through Sept 27 as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebrations. If you're in New York, don't miss this Made in America exhibit! #MadeInAmerica# #CooperHewitt# #Apptronik# #HumanoidRobotics#

America’s industrial decline was a choice. Reversing it is, too. First Solar CEO Mark Widmar's new op-ed in @RealClearEnergy compares two solar technologies over the same decade against the same adversary — crystalline silicon, which was lost to a state-backed Chinese buildout; and CdTe thin film, which remained in American hands through deliberate choices on IP, manufacturing, and supply chains. The lesson for critical minerals, batteries, and semiconductors: structural advantages compound. So do dependencies. The on-off switch for American industry stays in American hands if we choose to keep it here.

It's a proof-over-promise conversation about the people and technology behind the modules we build. Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, recently sat down with Nick Solheim, CEO of @americanmoment, for an episode of the Moment of Truth podcast — recorded live at the @reindsummit in Detroit. Mark and Nick discuss how First Solar is proving that advanced solar manufacturing can be built, and scaled, on American soil. By 2027, we expect to have six operational US factories ramped, supporting an estimated 40,000 jobs across our supply chain and generating approximately $4 billion in annual payroll — all while competing directly with China on solar technology. Mark talks through what strong manufacturing jobs mean for our people and communities, how we're using AI on the factory floor to drive quality and output, and what it actually takes to rebuild America's industrial base. 🎧 Listen to the full episode - #AmericanManufacturing# #Reindustrialize# #SolarEnergy# #MadeInAmerica#
