Since sometime in 2015, when solar growth really started picking up in terms of total volume - we've been hearing that growth rates won't keep up when growing from a larger base...but here we are in 2022 - with a projected 30% global growth this year, and almost the same amount last, yeah - but something foolishly large projected for next year - 100% manufacturing capacity growth?

Tells me I should ignore most things said to me in2015.

Good point, supply chain benefits are probably the main benefit

I’ve been wondering why battery manufacturers have been moving to the southeast other than cheap labor. Eventually it’ll be because of supply chain benefits. Access to steel, maybe mining, good highways, well priced electricity, and of course state regulations. Anyone have real information on this?
