SnapNrack Opens Its First U.S. Solar Mounting Factory

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 4, U.S. solar mounting manufacturer SnapNrack held a grand opening ceremony for its first U.S. manufacturing facility in El Paso, Texas, officially putting the new plant into operation. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrun, a U.S. residential solar and energy storage services provider. The new facility takes over the solar mounting bracket assembly and product distribution operations previously handled by its factory in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, completing the transfer of relevant production and logistics activities to U.S. soil.

The new factory consolidates solar mounting bracket assembly, warehousing, and distribution in El Paso, replacing the previous operating model that required shipping products across the U.S.-Mexico border. SnapNrack will use the new facility to organize product supply directly within the United States, reducing cross-border customs procedures and cargo transshipment steps, and adjusting its delivery processes for U.S. solar installation companies.

The El Paso plant distributes products via local highway and rail transportation networks. According to the logistics arrangements published by the company, the new facility will use the Interstate 10 and Interstate 25 corridors and the regional rail network to deliver solar mounting products across the United States. The factory also serves both domestic assembly and distribution functions, becoming a new operational node in SnapNrack's U.S. market supply chain.

SnapNrack's production adjustment also relates to domestic content requirements for U.S. solar projects. The company plans to provide solar installers and project developers with equipment options that meet relevant localization procurement requirements by manufacturing and assembling solar mounting products within the United States. Sunrun will also obtain corresponding product supply through SnapNrack's U.S. domestic assembly operations.
