"Under the deal, T1 will source hyper-pure polysilicon and solar wafers from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) supplier Corning's Michigan campus starting in the second half of 2026.
"Corning will deliver these wafers to T1's under-construction G2_Austin solar cell facility, which will be processed into cells for module production at T1's operational G1_Dallas site."
This is important for several reasons.
1. Break PRC dominance of the photovoltaic panel industry.
2. Create American jobs.
3. Provide competition. I doubt they will provide a lower price, or even an equal price, but if Americans can decide whether to spend $2000 for American panels or $1000 for PRC panels, at least some will buy American. This should pressure the PRC panels down on price and thus reduce profits for PRC companies.
Less profit means less taxes to fiund the military of nation with whom I fear we will be at war in the next ten years.
This also reduces balance of trade deficit, putting less money in the hands of Chinese investors to buy American businesses and politicians.
