Chinese-built solar factory in Texas sold to American firm days after opening
By
The Economist
Summary
A Chinese solar giant, Trina Solar, built a massive solar panel factory in Dallas, Texas in 2024, then sold it days after it began operations. The facility now operates under American ownership (t1 Energy) with 1,200 workers producing 20,000 solar panels daily. This reflects a broader trend of Chinese green-tech assets being stranded in America due to political tensions, creating a new class of American investors in renewable energy manufacturing.
