In a pv magazine USA commentary, ESS Inc.

He says sodium-ion has a structural advantage because it avoids concentrated lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese supply chains, and that UL 9540A test data at the cell, module, unit and installation levels drives deflagration venting, suppression sizing, setbacks and fire service response plans.
In a pv magazine USA analysis, Ryan Kennedy presents the Solar Manufacturing USA Quarterly report's bottom-up forecast of domestic U.S. module production to the end of 2027, tracking capex and output for more than 40 companies.

It adds that the forecast's downside would apply if project offtake falls short of production targets or buyers push back on cells under MIP conditions.
