📊 This Week’s Stats
30% – reduction in forecasting error using AI demand sensing, but shifts bottlenecks downstream (Supply Chain Brain)
65 GW – U.S. solar module manufacturing capacity (ING)

1️⃣ AI is shifting bottlenecks across supply chains
AI is improving forecasting, routing, and warehouse operations—but it’s also exposing new constraints at the network level. As individual functions accelerate, pressure shifts downstream, making coordination, data sharing, and aligned decision-making critical.

2️⃣ U.S. solar supply chain enters major reconfiguration
Tariffs and stricter sourcing rules are driving a shift toward domestic solar manufacturing. While capacity is growing, reliance on imported upstream components remains, creating near-term bottlenecks and cost pressure as the industry adjusts.

3️⃣ Shippers prioritize reliability over cost
Shippers are increasingly favoring asset-based carriers to secure capacity and improve service consistency. With tighter conditions and rising rates, transportation strategies are shifting toward reliability, earlier planning, and stronger carrier partnerships.
