American solar panel manufacturers are pursuing a major technological leap, reportedly through tandem solar cell technology, in an effort to close the gap with Chinese producers who dominate global solar manufacturing. The New York Times reports the strategy aims to give US companies a competitive edge rather than competing on cost alone, amid ongoing trade and industrial policy tensions with China.
Why now: US-China competition in clean energy technology is a pressing economic and policy topic, making reports of a US technology race timely.
