Nexamp CEO Discusses Challenges and Solutions in the Solar Industry

Nexamp, a community solar provider, is navigating challenges in the solar industry, including labor shortages and supply chain issues. CEO Zaid Ashai believes that building strong relationships with customers, partners, and communities is crucial to overcoming these obstacles.

In August, Nexamp announced a significant agreement with Canadian solar module manufacturer Heliene to purchase 1.5 GW of modules produced at Heliene’s Minnesota facility over the next five years. This move builds on Nexamp’s existing relationship with Heliene and represents the largest-ever community solar module order in the U.S.

Ashai emphasizes Heliene’s commitment to ethical production and its dedication to sourcing materials responsibly. This partnership ensures that Nexamp’s solar panels are produced without any involvement of forced or slave labor, aligning with recent legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act.

Supply chain challenges have affected the solar industry, with solar panels being one of the targeted goods for seizure by U.S. Customs and Border Protection due to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Additionally, U.S. manufacturer First Solar faced forced labor concerns in its Malaysia facility.

The solar industry has also been impacted by the pandemic and trade policy changes, leading to a shift towards nearshoring and onshoring. Ashai acknowledges that global trade dynamics are evolving towards more regional and protectionist policies, necessitating adjustments in supply chain strategies.

Despite these challenges, the solar industry remains promising. Investments in U.S. manufacturing have increased following the passage of the IRA, and forecasts predict record-breaking solar installations in 2023. Improved technology and the integration of solar with energy storage are making solar a reliable and cost-effective energy source.

Solar’s ability to “clean the grid” and save consumers money sets it apart as a clean energy technology. Additionally, solar innovations like agrivoltaics and habitat-friendly solar farms are addressing land use concerns and community acceptance.

One of the critical challenges facing the solar industry is the shortage of skilled labor. Nexamp is actively reevaluating its hiring practices to address this issue. A significant number of solar industry employers find it challenging to locate qualified applicants, highlighting the urgency of workforce development.

In conclusion, Nexamp is committed to navigating the evolving landscape of the solar industry by building strong relationships, ensuring ethical sourcing, and addressing labor shortages to continue contributing to the growth of clean energy.
